You may recognize Wayne from his long career as a postal worker at the Wellesley Square Post Office. Now come between 11am and 1pm during July Jubilation to hear him talk about his new children's book based on his family's experience raising a goose!
ABOUT "GUS THE GOOSE"
He was such a little thing when Wayne found and picked him up, taking him home after determining there was no way to know where he had come from. His family, even his wife knew he needed to stay there with them. They named his Gus the Goose...This is his story... in lovely poetic form...
This is a wonderful family-oriented book that deserves to be shared. It not only provides information about the little gosling, but it will provide by example the kind of family that takes in a pet and provides more than just food and shelter... The kind of family each of us must be to animals taken into our care. A loving family.
And there's another important lesson to be learned...if it is best to give up that pet for a better life, then we must be willing to do just that...When Gus saw fellow geese, he was ready to leave his adopted family to fly with a new family because, you see, the geese need Gus to help them survive and live well as well.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Wayne grew up in a country town south of Boston, MA, surrounded by woods, brooks, cow pastures, corn fields, swamps, and a pond--all which were home to numerous wildlife such as raccoons, possums, foxes, woodchucks, skunks, pheasants, geese, ducks, snakes, turtles, frogs, and fish. He spent much of his summer exploring these surroundings with friends, watching and catching all the various wildlife therein. Many wild animals soon became family pets—at least for a little while, except for, Gus the Goose. Wayne continues to enjoy the great outdoors and all the activities it has to offer. He plans on retiring in the near future and to build a log cabin somewhere in the northern New England woods, where he can continue to be surrounded by nature and all that it has to offer, and, to continue writing books in natures’ peaceful surroundings.
