Wayne has my respect; he is a vet of WWII- he was in submarines, and
those brave souls deserve all the respect they can get.
I don't know the details, but I understand his underlings cleaned him
out at least twice, leaving his company gutted and near death.
Maybe this has happened again, and at 80+, he simply hasn't the ability
to recover had when he was younger.
The loss of 73 isn't a death blow, but the loss of ANY source of new ham
material will be noticed.
