Wayne was born in Ludington, MI on November 14, 1951, a son of the
late H. Dean and Lois (Fugere) Ewing. Following his high school
graduation he was drafted into the US Army, which led to a 20 year
career. He was assigned to the 245th Military Police Company, and
served throughout the United States and in Germany. He retired from
Seneca Army Depot in 1991, and pursued a degree at TC3. With his
credentials as a paralegal, he embarked on a second career, working
at the Midey Law Firm, and for nearly 20 years, he has worked at the
Bradshaw Law Firm in Seneca Falls. His intense interest and
respect for the judicial system led to his elected position of Ovid
Town Justice, an office he has held for over 17 years.
