I have had the priviledge of meeting Wayne on several occassions, especially at
the Cadron Creek Bluegrass Festival just outside of Bee Branch, Arkansas.  He
was a good friend of the Pierce Family who introduced me to Wayne.  I even have
a video tape of him introducing our band when we had the opportunity to play a
guest spot at Cadron Creek.  I've never met a finer man, a man with a good
Christian heart, nor have I ever met a man with such a wonderful personallity. 
Thanks Wayne, for all the great memories that you left behind,  and
may the last song of the night be in your honor.
Mike Howell
