About Me

Wayne Franklin Beyette
"The Griz"

Wayne Franklin "The Griz"

I live at Ste. Rose, Manitoba with my wife Martha (nee Pothumus).

We have three children, Tim born September 1, 1971, Anita born July 16, 1973, and Webb born January 9, 1975.

Here's the whole crew! First the old Grizzly Bear himself, followed by his sweetheart of more than 30 years now, Martha! Then you see Tim and his fiancee Chiemi and her daughter Manami in Japan, followed by Anita and her husband Byron Gryba. They live in Winnipeg. And then Webb and his sweetheart Kelly Kaleta. They live in Dauphin, about 30 miles from us.

My sweetheart, Martha Grace!

My Favorites

Some of my favorite things include:
Favorite Singers - Willie Nelson, George Jones, CCR
Favorite Hobbies - computer, reading, cooking
Favorite Foods - All the things we shouldn't have, ha!
Seriously though, I enjoy cooking and experimenting with recipes. I have been baking my own bread this fall from scratch (no bread maker for me). I like trying ethnic foods such as Chinese, Japanese, French-Canadian, Mexican.
