Boy - you're gonna make me rich!!!

Some things I remember about Wynn -

Wynn and I worked in the computer dept. at the Rice Campus Store. He was
fanatical about audio and kept telling me about these amazing speakers he
had in his dorm. Finally one day I asked to hear them, so we walked over
to his dorm room. These speakers were not just big, they were HUGE. The
room was basically a place to sit and worship these speakers. It was the
Rothko chapel and the speakers were the Rothkos. You should have seen the
grin on Wynn's face when he cranked up "Mars: The Bringer of War" from
Holst's The Planets.

During the 1990's Wynn worked with me at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center
providing support for computer applications we developed. Wynn was the
best support person I have ever encountered - unfailingly courteous,
extremely knowledgeable and always fun to talk with. During this period,
Wynn bought a huge gold Cadillac. Not a practical choice, but practical
wasn't a big part of Wynn's personality. He told me a story about going to
a filling station to fuel this huge beast of a car. He was chatting with
the proprietor (of course) as the meter on the pump turned...and
turned...and turned. Finally, the proprietor looked at him and said, "Sh.t
son - you're gonna make me rich!!!"

Wynn's courage and positive attitude during his long ordeal with a
bone-lengthening procedure that he underwent to try to mend the leg that
was injured when he was young.

Wynn's sense of fun and his genuine love for people. He was one of a kind.
