Wayne "Seadog" Seaburg - 2017
Wayne served as Region 4 Director for many years and was always there to help.
Wayne wasn't a "hardcore" shooter at most events but was more of a social soul, selling his wares and enjoying the comradery of members and guests. Wayne did enjoy shooting with the Flint Team and travel many times to Kentucky, Pennslyvania, Vermont and Maine. The photo left was taken at one of the Albany Outdoor shows when we use to promote the organization. Wayne was an active member of the Middlefort Rangers in Middleburg and helped put on the Winter Meat shoots there.
He will be sorely missed around the campfires........but the memories remain.
See you on the other side old friend............
