Another oddity is my referring to Western Gulch as his "home town," considering Mayor Chase's bio says the town is just about 10 years old. Clearly, if that's the case, Wayne couldn't have spent his whole childhood there; he may even have been in college at the time it was founded. So, I dunno. I'm not gonna worry about it right now, though, with all the anachronisms I include intentionally in this series.

Oh, one other thing, about his name... I have an uncle named Wayne and a cousin named Luke. I'm thinking it's possible that fact could have had a hand in the name I chose for him, I don't really remember.

Of course, as the bio says, he doesn't spend much time in Western Gulch, and his local enterprises are overseen by a board of trustees, the chairman of which is Peacie Tokken. Other board members include Harold Geiger, Tex Colorado, Miller Mason, Perry Knight, and Joe Sampson.
