KAREN BUDZINSKI How did you meet Wayne? Wayne is my first cousin. I believe we met as infants... And being the "senior" cousin, my memory of that event is now somewhat foggy! What is your favorite memory of Wayne? Ah, but there is no one "favorite" memory. My memories of my cousin are all jumbled up with warm feelings of time spent together with favorite family members, time at Grandma Archangeli's house, and time spent on mutual family vacations as well as family holidays. What’s the funniest thing you ever saw Wayne do? When we were children, one Christmas I received a small brush, comb and mirror set from Grandma and Grandpa Archangeli. For some reason Wayne thought it was his (we may have been about 3 and 5 at the time), and it was explained to him that those items were for little girls, not little boys. Wayne then exclaimed "Well then! It was mine when I was a little girl!" He was adamant! What’s the nicest thing Wayne ever did for you? The most recent wonderful thing Wayne has done was to scan and share all of the old family photographs with me. If you saw Wayne today, what would be the first thing you would say to him? Hey Cuz ... you haven't changed a bit! (Of course my eyesight is going now too!) And ... PC’s can do the same things as Macs, digital is catching or surpassing film, and AOL is still NOT the REAL Internet! (Did I mention I might be a tad opinionated too? Seems it runs in the family!) Describe Wayne in 5 words or less: Genuine, opinionated, strong, warm and family-oriented. (A hyphen makes it one word, right?) When I think of Wayne ... I smile. I’ve always wondered if Wayne ... remembers "swimming" in Grandma Archangeli's galvanized wash tubs outdoors on hot summer days. My birthday wish for Wayne is ... Many, many, many more, and good health to go with them!
