A familiar face along the sidelines at area sporting events and other community activities snapping pictures for the local papers has formally put out the "Gone Fishing" sign. Photographer for The Review for the last 12 years, Wayne Maris joined the ranks of retirees as of Saturday, September 18.
Prior to joining The Review full time Maris spent 30 years as an iron worker in Youngstown and has been a newspaper stringer part-time for 20 of those years. He tells us he also spent a year and a half on the Indy Car Circuit. Wayne is a Salem area resident and native and a West Branch High School graduate. He served our county in the Army and is a fellow Viet Nam veteran. Wayne tells us he will continue as a newspaper stringer for The Review for sports coverage. We saw his pictures taken at last night's Wellsville-Southern Local football game in this morning's papers. You wouldn't know he's retired.
We would like to wish Wayne good luck and many, many years of happy retirement. He's earned it. Hope his honey-do list isn't too long.
