Wayne's Story

As most of my classmates know I started my family very early. My high school years were not exactly what you would call typical. I¿d still like to know who the ¿genius¿ was that penned my obit in our last will and testament- ¿Wayne Johnson father of the year leaves for I¿ve got a secret.¿ A rather dubious distinction- some things you just never forget¿ Judy was a good mother and wonderful person but, although we tried, it just didn¿t last.

Kodak was good to me and I managed to work my way up in a variety of positions including designer, technician, reliability engineer and supervisor.

My fondest memory of high school is the diversity of friends that I enjoyed; jocks, ruffians, intellectuals, etc. I got a kick out of all of you.
