Please visit Wayne G. MacDowell's website: http://waynemacdowell.com/ Wayne G. MacDowell was born in Woodbury, New Jersey and raised in the greater Philadelphia area. Undergraduate studies were accomplished at Louisiana State University, where he also played football and Rutgers University. His business career began in Philadelphia in the tea industry with Lipton and after being promoted to the corporate headquarters for a marketing position, more than 30 years was spent in the New York City area. Sales and Marketing Management continues where after 20 years with Lipton, Wayne joined Chock Full O'Nuts Coffee Company as Director of Sales and Marketing for their Private Label Division. His business experience permitted extensive travel crisscrossing the USA and as Wayne would say..."Name the city and I've probably been there"! In fact, a great portion of his first book, "Not Just Another Love Story" was written in airplanes, airports and hotels. During his business career in the tea and coffee industry, Wayne was, for years, on the Board of Directors for The Tea Association of the United States of America. He elected to take an early retirement from the business world, although he continued to consult for the tea and coffee industry, in order to spend more time with his family and to pursue his love for both domestic and international travel. "London is always calling", states Wayne! He also regularly visits England's Isle of Wight, where as Chairman of the St Pete Beach, Florida International sister-City Program, he enjoys being with their Twin-City of Sandown, on this historical island. Many of the town's sister-city committee have become..."family". The trips across "The Pond" always include side trips to visit friends in France, Holland and Italy. In St Pete Beach, Wayne co-chaired the St Pete Beach 50th Anniversary...a year-long string of fun events and activities. His committee met for 23 months of planning on behalf of the year-long programs...without one argument...everyone pulling their oars in the same direction and the climax was a weekend of fireworks off of the beach, fun and games for the children and a dinner-dance where over 650 enjoyed a most special evening. 
 Wayne is also on the Board of the "Friends of St Pete Beach", the "Support Our Troops Program", A Life Member of the "Friends of the St Pete Beach Library", a member of the "Tampa Bay Beaches Chamber of Commerce", the "Veterans of South Pinellas County" and for many years, Wayne has been an Associate Member of the 305th Bomb Group (H) memorial Association on behalf of his Uncle-Godfather, 1st Lt. Wright E. Gerke. As a member of the Florida Writers Association, Wayne has given writing seminars and helps aspiring writers, telling them not to get caught up in the "cookie cutter" writing theory, but to relax, create and enjoy writing. The new book, "Not Just Another War Story" is a meaningful true to life account of the action-packed U.S. Army Air Corps during a most difficult time in our history...World War II. It took 9 years of research and writing in order to "Get It Right" and Wayne worked hard to place you in a front row seat! Wayne continues to enjoy life in St Pete Beach, Florida where he makes time for the pleasures of boating, tennis, volunteer work, a relaxing walk on the beach and being with family and friends.
