Wayne Soccer Trophy Case Photos Restored

For years, photos of Tom Gentile ’70 and Kevin Hill ’71 have been displayed in the Wayne Central trophy cases. Most recently located in the lobby of the new gym. It had been noticed that these photos had faded and deteriorated somewhat over the years. Kudos to Roger Hansen, Sandra St. James, John Abbott and Glen Cone for restoring these photos, which will soon be adorning the display cases again at Wayne Central.

Sorry if I missed anyone else who was involved. Great work by everyone.
