Wayne and Ruth were friends of my parents Bill and Lois Hardin. My mom grew up with Ruth and they were best friends. Mom and dad both spoke highly of their dear friends Ruth and Wayne. They were very proud of Wayne’s achievements. My husband became face book friends with Wayne and enjoyed discussing their experiences in the military. Wayne stopped in and visited mom near the end of her life. I know it meant a lot to her. I am glad that Wayne found someone to spend time and travel with in the recent years. He looked very happy with Nadine.
