He was too busy with his cows. Wayne was born in Tarkio, he married his neighbor, and he died on his land with a list of chores. His family picked up that list in his honor and because some chores just need to get done. It’s what Wayne would have wanted.Reported and narrated by Kathleen Shannon, alum of UM Journalism’s graduate program Thu, 28 May 2026 12:51:41 GMT https://www.mtpr.org/arts-life/2026-05-28/obitproject-s01e09 Kathleen Shannon
