Few people know this, but as a 19-year-old Bridgman, Wayne saved the life of five-year-old Ricky Gillis. That was me. He ran through a dry creek bed in Blairmore, AB and swept me from the tracks seconds before I was struck by an oncoming freight train. I owe my life to this brave man. May he rest in peace.
