Wayne Fowlkes

I received a call a bit ago from Capt. Ray Brown, informing me that Wayne Fowlkes passed away earlier today. Wayne was one of the most influential rod builders in the history of the craft. His decorative thread work graced the covers of Gudebrod thread catalogs for over two decades. I last spoke to him at the recent Expo for a few minutes. Wish it could have been longer. He will be missed.

So sorry to hear that. He was in a class of his own. Prayers sent to his friends and family.

John
