Many who do not even realize it owe a great debt to Wayne Hage. He has cleared a path for all owners of property, all grazing permittees and all proponents of limited government. That path was cleared with moral courage, legal finesse and a gentleman's demeanor.

Hopefully more will realize it before it is too late.

Wayne was also an educator. He did not seek to keep his knowledge to himself, but chose to share it with all who had similar interests.

"Storm over rangelands" is a must read,like a textbook.

I am deeply saddened by the departure of this great man. As a screenwriter, I was fortunate enough to secure the film rights to his story. He was not just a subject to me, but a dear person who regaled me with stories both hilarious and horrifying. I wish he would have been able to see his life on the big screen, but I know he will be proud. My only hope is that it can reach millions more. The power of one voice standing up to injustice is a lesson we can all learn.
