Summary
When I started at BHS as a Social Studies teacher Wayne Carter was the chairperson of the department. Later he moved into the Guidance department. This is my favorite Wayne Carter story. In the 1980s the only place to find alternative bands in Frederick was a little bar on Market Street called the Carroll Creek Dam. On Friday nights it was a favorite of certain members of the BHS staff to have a happy hour. The crowd was an interesting mixture of blue collar and white collar workers, all gathered in a small place for the purpose of having fun, listening to great music, and drinking beer or wine. I once made a bet with fellow teacher Laura Fantom
that she would NEVER be able to get Wayne Carter to attend one of our happy hours.
The bet was if she did I would come over and clean her entire house from top to bottom. If Laura could not she would have to cook me dinner for an entire week. Being a bachelor I ate TV dinners all the time. I liked and admired Wayne, but those of you who know him can probably understand why I thought he would never attend a crowded bar where people were downing pitchers of beer while listening to loud bands playing songs such as "Free Bird" or "Stairway to Heaven." Needless to say, I underestimated Laura's charming persuasiveness and misjudged Wayne because when I arrived for happy hour. When I arrive that Friday night, there at a table of regular BHS-ers sat Wayne (minus his tie) drinking a beer. The next day I cleaned Laura's house, and being the great sport that she was, she fed me a home-cooked meal at the end of my cleaning
