Wayne Waffen and his wife were shopping when they received the devastating news that their home was on fire. After the flames were extinguished, they were left to survey the damage. Unfortunately, many of Wayne’s father’s paintings had been damaged by heat & smoke, and seemed a total loss.
“Seeing it so severely damaged, I thought it was lost for good.” – Wayne Waffen
