Topics get quickly buried in the general forum. Didn’t see it, and I didn't want to let this milestone go unannounced. It belongs in the EM subforum anyway.
I had the pleasure of wishing him a very Happy Birthday yesterday on the phone. He is still as vibrant as ever. As part of his 100th celebration, the Pacific Pinball Museum presented him with a trophy of sorts with three score reels mounted on it.
On his hundredth birthday, they incremented the reels from 99 to 100. When I visited Wayne earlier this year after TPF, he let me know that as soon as he turned 101, he would be incrementing it again.
As we finished up the conversation yesterday, I jokingly asked if he was going to increment that counter. He said, "that was the first thing I did this morning!"
Happy Birthday, Wayne!
