Wayne Green died on September 13, 2013, age 91. Below is the last entry from the blog on his web site.
“Wayne Green passed away this morning in a peaceful, painless transition from this life on Earth. An eternal optimist, and one who loved to share his neverending zest for life, he was a friend to many and will be missed greatly. Wayne was not afraid of dying and was very much ready to embark on his next great adventure to the afterlife.”

This long overdue update brings us some fun memories and a brand new member of our little community. Thanks to John Molnar, Eric Maloney, and John Mello for these contributions.
- From the Archives, by popular demand, comes the 1981 Christmas Memo.
- Here's a picture of Jack Burnett hard at work.
- The Art Department always seemed have all the fun. As evidence, we have not just one, but two photos of Lynn Panciera-Fraser and Robin Sloan.
- This is a quiz: can you identify the Mystery Object? Some of us knew "instantly" what it was.
- And finally, it's Jackson Mello, world's youngest 80 Micro reader. Congratulations to John and Lynn.
Hearing the "Wayne's World" tune every time this page loaded proved too obnoxious even for me, so I removed it. If you want to hear it, click the link beneath the Welcome greeting at the top of the page.

Obnoxious sound file added. You may have noticed that this page now plays the "Wayne's World" theme when loaded. I'm sorry; I couldn't resist.
If this breaks anyone's browser, please let me know, and I'll remove the sound.

To quote Vice Admiral James Bond Stockdale, "Why am I here?"
Anyone who ever spent much time around Wayne knows he was a very special and unusual person. He was a certified genius, an infuriating curmudgeon, a peculiar visionary, a one-time candidate for Vice-President, and more. But to many of us, his most memorable accomplishment was to bring together lots of interesting and talented people to work on his many projects.
At a party in the year 2000, a small number of former employees spent hours talking and laughing about our days with Wayne. The conversation was punctuated with many questions that began "whatever happened to ...?" When I returned home from the party, in the afterglow of a most enjoyable evening, I made this web site. Ok, so maybe I have a little too much time on my hands.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed items for this site. It's never too late to send more memorabilia my way. Use the email address below.
Never Say Die,
