I just got the sad news that Wayne Fricke of the Carolina Brewmasters passed away this morning after a fight with cancer. Wayne was an integral part of the Charlotte Oktoberfest and a very active club member for them.
Nothing has posted on the CBM forum yet, nor on their website. If we get more information we will pass it along.
