L. Wayne Ostlund

A very thoughtful, caring and brave man. A true Renaissance man.

Wayne was one of the first peace activists I met when I moved here in '86. We stood on many war protest lines together and he often carried one of my signs. He and Lee often shared their dinner with me and in exchange I worked around the place. It was always a good trade for me, as they were both good cooks. Will miss you both.

Brief words can never describe the influence that a person or family can have on another. Wayne was not just an influence on the political front but was always there to lend a hand if needed. Both Lee and Wayne were generous to strays ... people who had lost their traction and it is for that generosity that I remember them.

I have loved reading Wayne Ostlund's letters to the editor for 40+ years. I "heard" Mr. Ostlund & considered him a friend although we never met. What a brilliant, caring man! He cared enough to compose his letters so that we all could learn what it means to be a good steward of our environment. That environment includes young developing minds. I thank him for being such a bright light.

I was a 5th grade student of Mrs Ostlund in 1960 and she was one of my all time favorite teachers. I live in GA now and was not aware that she had passed until I read this. My thoughts and prayers to Karen, Susan and family members and friends. May God give you peace.

I have known Wayne since I was in elementary school and became a friend of his daughter. I spent many joyful hours at his home visiting, eating, interacting with his family and many guests. He was a positive influence on my desire to learn more about the world. My love goes out to his family.

what a life he had , and what an amazing property they shared. I grew up on Blue Mountain and visited them growing up. always loved their place so peaceful. A well lived life and forever friend and mentor to many. thank you for your example you taught it well.

I remmeber Waybe as being active with Clallam County Democratic Party with my father, Aaron Gebhardt.

The best man I ever knew - I'm so lucky to have been his friend. Much of what I've learned he taught me. I'll miss him for the rest of my time here.
