Wayne was one of the seven original founding members of the Core Sound Decoy Carvers Guild. The idea to form a guild was hatched at his home with friends around a pot of clam chowder. He and those six other men represent the seven founders known as, "The Original Seven." Our Southern decoy community owes them thanks.

Original.
