DuWayne knew a little bit about a lot of things. And he could knit a good yarn. He was so calm (and stubborn!), that despite my best efforts to tease him and rile him up, I almost never succeeded. I remember cutting his hair one time. He told me that he'd never paid for a haircut in his life. Ah, so many good memories. He will be missed.
