I Was very sad to hear about Waynes passing. Though we lost touch in the late seventies when he moved to Arizona and I went to Saudi Arabia for a couple of years I've thought about our friendship many times over the years. I regret not having tracked him down during the times I visited my sister in Scottsdale or was in town with my Daughters for Soccer tournaments. Wayne was one of the good guys who befriended one of the new kids in town when I moved to Langdon for my Senior year of High school. I particularly remember the summer after we graduated driving around Langdon in the Willys jeep he was working on getting into shape. My condolences to all. I'll remember good times when I think of Wayne!
