Surely they didn't fire Wayne? Dam when I met em I thought he was a great
guy. Really helped me out with my car when I had problems with it. This is
not good news at all :-(

There is a huge difference between being laid off and being fired.

And I thought the Airlines were the only ones scummy enought to let someone go just before Christmas, opps! I mean the Holidays. They timed it so you don't get to go to the company Christmas party.

Good point, as I initially thought the same thing. One point about losing a job around Christmas time...Many companies want to start the new year with any changes in place. Unfortunately, January 1 comes just a week after Christmas.

Wayne has always been great to deal with. I always felt he was doing the job of 4 men with an anchor tied to his leg

If your ever moving to Minnesota (Snow, Blondes, Lakes, Ice Racing...), give us a call!!!

Best Regards & Wishes!!
