A Remembrance

Here's an email from my son. He received this note from a high school friend.

Wayne, I wanted to send you a note while I was thinking about it. We had a mini get-together last night, and I was talking with Fabian Pedraza's little brother, David, who I didn't remember from school. Your name came up and he said very thoughtfully that your dad had passed and that he was a great man and instrumental in David's life. David said that being a hispanic boy in this environment, he was really headed in the wrong direction, but through Scouts, your dad turned his life around. He said that your dad believed in him, encouraged him and that had a significant impact on his life and that he would be eternally grateful to him. I thought that was a wonderful tribute and wanted to share it with you.

I remember David, a handsome boy. He was a runner. I know that what he said of my husband is true. And it's wonderful to hear, to know Wayne is remembered.
