Wayne was one of my oldest and dearest friends. We dug fox hold by the railroad tracks in Sylvan lake during WWII. We sampled our mother´s drinks on New Year´s Eve and loved TOM and JERRY´S . Our Tennessee home became a sanctuary for wine trips south. We shared many Birthdays with Carol and enjoyed Wayne´s 80 at the Island.
Lost on of my best and favorite friends....LoveNStuff, Karen Beam Glasgow
