After graduating Morse High school, Wayne joined BIW where he was an electrician and planner. Wayne married Mary Talbot in 1961. Wayne was an avid antique car enthusiast. He would spend hours at shows and flea markets searching for just the right parts he needed to restore two 19402’s era cars to like-new condition. He and Mary enjoyed taking drives in the old cars, often accompanied by C. Farley Wakely, a 5 foot tall stuffed gorilla. Wayne had great skill in building plane and ship models, both from kits and the original plans. Once completed, he would hang the planes from the ceiling to be admired. Or bumped into, if you were tall. One of Wayne’s ship models was on display at BIW’s main office.
