I was surprised to hear of Waynes passing, he was just too young. Wayne was one of the individuals that hired me. They asked if I could at least work for 5 years as I was 52 when I was hired. I ended up working for the COA for 15 years. Wayne would always come into the control room in the mornings and ask the graveyard operator how the night went. I for one really appreciated that! Wayne was an operator as well and he was promoted to Chief Utilities System Operator. So he understood the job and the long hours we worked. Wayne would sometimes test our knowledge by asking us about operations,   relay protection or substation equipment.  I and another operator met up with Wayne about 2 years ago for lunch and we enjoyed talking about the way things were at the COA and in the control room. I always felt I could go to Wayne when I had an operations question. As my boss and friend, he'll be missed!
