I went on regular customer sales calls with Wayne during my several years with IPC in the very early 2000´s. He was very knowledgeable of our services and capabilities. A great friend during my tenure there. I was honored to have been asked to photograph he and Beth´s wedding and I will always have that connection to Wayne and her.
