I met him once at one of the New England ham radio flea markets. I think Deerfield or Rochester. He had a table set up for recruiting new hams and to sell books or magazines. He virtually wouldn't let me past his table, because I was younger, and he was really into getting younger hams into the hobby. But, I already had my ticket. I think he did lecture me on trying to use more CW though. We chatted for a while, and he seemed like a decent guy.
I seem to remember the 14.313 crew had an axe to grind with Wayne for some years.
