Its been a lot of years since I saw either of the Magnans but in the 1960s & 70s, they were often at my parents home for parties and such. I recall Wayne as being funny but just a genuinely nice guy. I know that if Mom (or Dad) were still here, they would join me in extending their condolences to Audrey and the whole family. May the grace of God bring you peace at this time. {Oh, and I do believe we have Wayne & Audrey on video, dancing at our wedding in 1985. :) } Carrie (Conley) Bryson, daughter of Don and Ev
