A great friend and fellow collector for over 50 years. Wayne was a founding member of the Early Talking Machine Club of America and helped plan the first phonograph show in Union. A kinder and gentler person you will never meet. Rest in Peace old friend.

I am very sorry to hear of Wayne's passing. I was very fortunate over the years to have been able to share in his interest of the collecting of music machines and the hobby. My prayers go out to the family and friends. Steve Stanton, Michigan
