October 4th, 2025 Wayne Wilde

Hello, my name is Wayne Wilde born in Bagley MN in 1949, the second of 6 children. My folks, Milo and Ruby, moved the family to Shevlin when I was about 4 years old. I attended Shevlin School grades 1-6 and then in Bagley grades 7-11. I graduated from Thief River Falls in 1967. After graduation I went to work for my uncle on his farm and in 1968 | got my first pipeline job with Leonard Pipeline based out of Canada. In April, 1968 l joined the US Army.
I was a 31M20, I served in Texas, Korea and Germany and was honorably discharged in April of 1971. I went back and got a job on the pipeline again and from there decided to go into business for myself. It was then that Wilde Construction began.
I met my lovely wife Debbie in January of 73 and married that Fall at the Congregational Church in Bagley. We went on to have 4 children, 3 daughters and 1 son, "the magnificent 4".  I now have
been blessed with 11 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren.
And for the rest of the story... come to the meeting!
