I met Wayne in a writing class at UCD. He was great. The thing I liked so much about him was that he knew he wanted to be there. He was surrounded by many of us who were wannabee hipsters and so young... we really had little to write about! He was courteous, kind and smart. I am so glad he was able to get his book published. I will read it. He must have been so proud of his family. Fondly, Celeste
