SENATE-DISTRICT OVER THE OVER
OUR BREAK, SO I'VE HAD QUITE A
FEW. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR
YOUR INDULGENCE THESE LAST FEW
WEEKS, BUT TODAY, UM, THANK YOU
FOR MENTIONING THE ADJOURNMENT,
MADAM PRESIDENT, I RISE TO
ADJOURN IN MEMORY OF THE
HONORABLE HOWARD WAYNE. WHO DIED
NOVEMBER 2ND ON HIS 75TH
BIRTHDAY. HOWARD WAS BORN TO
WILLIAM AND BLANCHE WAYNE ON
NOVEMBER 2ND 1948 IN FRESNO,
CALIFORNIA. THE FAMILY MOVED TO
SAN DIEGO WHEN HE WAS A TODDLER,
AND HOWARD NEVER LEFT HIS
ADOPTED HOMETOWN. HIS LIFELONG
INTEREST IN POLITICS BEGAN AT
AGE 11 WHEN AN UNCLE TOOK HIM
ONE NIGHT TO THE GALLERY OF THE
1960 DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL
CONVENTION IN LOS ANGELES. WHEN
JOHN F. KENNEDY WAS NOMINATED
FOR PRESIDENT. AFTER ATTENDING
HOOVER HIGH SCHOOL IN CITY
HEIGHTS, HE ENROLLED AT WHAT WAS
THEN NAMED SAN DIEGO STATE
COLLEGE. WHEN HE WAS ONLY 15. HE
WAS AWARDED A BACHELOR OF ARTS
DEGREE IN HISTORY AND POLITICAL
SCIENCE IN 1969. HE EARNED A LAW
DEGREE FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF
SAN DIEGO, WHERE HE SERVED AS
EDITOR OF THE LAW REVIEW IN
1972. HOWARD JOINED THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
AS A DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL IN
1973, WHERE HE FOCUSED ON
CONSUMER PROTECTION CASES. HE
MET HIS WIFE, MARY LUNDBERG, IN
1982, AND THE COUPLE WERE
MARRIED IN 1988. MARY WENT TO
WORK AT THE U. S ATTORNEY'S
OFFICE. IN 1996. HOWARD
SUCCESSFULLY RAN FOR THE STATE
ASSEMBLY IN THE 78TH ASSEMBLY
DISTRICT AND SERVED THREE TERMS.
HE AUTHORED 60 BILLS THAT WERE
SIGNED INTO LAW AND APPROVED AND
UNAPPROVED CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT. HE SERVED AS THE
CHAIR OF THE NATURAL RESOURCES
COMMITTEE AND THE SELECT
COMMITTEE ON BIOTECHNOLOGY. HE
WAS MOST PROUD OF SEEING ONE OF
HIS FIRST BILLS LANDMARK
LEGISLATION THAT CREATED A
COASTAL WATER QUALITY TESTING
PROGRAM SIGNED INTO LAW. HE
REQUIRED A LICENSE PLATE OR HE
ACQUIRED A LICENSE PLATE THAT
READ A B 411 TO COMMEMORATE THAT
ACCOMPLISHMENT. AFTER LEAVING
THE LEGISLATURE, HE RETURNED TO
HIS POSITION AS A DEPUTY
ATTORNEY GENERAL. HE WAS ALSO AN
ADJUNCT PROFESSOR AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF SAN DIEGO,
TEACHING A GRADUATE COURSE ON
ADVOCACY SKILLS AND STRATEGIES.
HOWARD AND HIS WIFE TRAVELED IN
2006 TO SOUTH AFRICA TO HELP
POST AND APARTHEID GOVERNMENT
ESTABLISHED A NEW LEGAL SYSTEM.
AFTER HIS RETIREMENT. HE WAS
SELECTED LAST YEAR TO SERVE ON
THE SAN DIEGO COUNTY GRAND JURY
SPENDING 40 HOURS A WEEK ON
GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT WORK UNTIL
HE FELT ILL AS MANY VOLUNTEER
ACTIVITIES INCLUDED SERVING AS
VICE CHAIR OF THE SAN DIEGO
COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY CHAIR OF
THE LINDA VISTA PLANNING GROUP
AND BEING AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF
THE CLAREMONT TOWN COUNCIL, THE
LINDA VISTA TOWN COUNCIL. SARAH
MESA COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION AND
THE MISSION VALLEY COMMUNITY
ASSOCIATION. NOW ALL OF YOU WHO
GO TO COMMUNITY EVENTS. THINK OF
PLANNING COMMITTEES, TOWN
COUNCILS AND COMMUNITY
ASSOCIATIONS. HOWARD HAD A LOVE
OF THIS TYPE OF ENGAGEMENT AND
HE WAS ALWAYS LOOKED UP TO IN
THE COMMUNITY FOR HIS ADVICE,
HIS COUNSEL AND CERTAINLY HIS
LEADERSHIP. HE SURVIVED, AS I
SAID EARLIER BY HIS WIFE OF 35
YEARS, MARY LUMBER. HIS BROTHER,
ROBERT WAYNE OF SEATTLE, A LARGE
EXTENDED FAMILY OF SIBLINGS IN
LAW AND NUMEROUS NIECES AND
NEPHEWS. UM SORT OF APPROPRIATE
HOWARD CELEBRATION A LOT. I WAS
THE WEEKEND OF THE DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION IN LOS ANGELES. WHICH
MAKES SENSE TO ME. SOME OF US
WERE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND. BUT WE
WERE REALLY FORTUNATE BECAUSE
YOU KNOW, HE WOULD HAVE EXPECTED
US TO GO DO OUR POLITICAL DUTY
AND MOST OF US DID. BUT WE WERE
FORTUNATE TO HAVE A FORMER
ELECTED OFFICIALS LYNN SHANK
CHRISTINE KEHOE, DENISE TO
CHENEY'S SUSAN DAVIS. AND D D.
ALBERT ALL IN ATTENDANCE AT HIS
SERVICE, SO THEY REPRESENTED
THOSE OF US WHO COULDN'T BE
THERE WELL AND HONOR OF A REALLY
GREAT PERSON. COLLEAGUES I ASK
THAT WE ADJOURNED TODAY IN THE
MEMORY OF HOWARD WAYNE, A
DEDICATED PUBLIC SERVANT, SAN
DIEGO AND THE ENTIRE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA ARE BENEFICIARIES OF
HIS PUBLIC SERVICE. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. PLEASE BRING HIS NAME
FORWARD SO HE CAN BE POPULAR.
PROPERLY MEMORIALIZED CORTEZ,
YOU ARE RECOGNIZED FOR YOUR
JOURNEY. THANK YOU, MR PRESIDENT
AND SENATORS. I RISE TO ADJOURN
THE MEMORY OF VICKI CHÁVEZ
LASTRA. A YOUNGER SISTER OF
CESAR CHAVEZ. VICKI PASSED AWAY
ON NOVEMBER 11TH 2023 AT THE AGE
OF 90. SHE WAS BORN IN 1932, THE
SECOND YOUNGEST OF FIVE CHILDREN
IN THAT FAMILY DURING THE EARLY
YEARS OF HER LIFE, OF COURSE,
UH, THOSE SIBLINGS GREW UP ON A
FAMILY HOMESTEADED NEAR YUMA,
ARIZONA. MOST OF US KNOW THAT
HISTORY, UM, ALONG WITH HER
BROTHER, OF COURSE, CESAR.
FAMILY LOST THAT FARM DURING THE
GREAT DEPRESSION. AND NOT ONLY
DID SHE ENDURED THE HARDSHIPS OF
FOLLOWING MIGRANT TRAILS AND
MIGRANT WORK ACROSS CALIFORNIA.
BUT SPENT HER EARLY CHILDHOOD IN
AND YOUNGEST YEARS. IN WHAT IS
NOW SENATE-DISTRICT 15 IN SAN
JOSE, CALIFORNIA. SHE CARRIED
THE TEACHINGS OF HER MOTHER
THROUGHOUT HER LIFE. ONE OF
THOSE WAS A COMMITMENT TO
NONVIOLENCE, AND PARTICULARLY
THAT IT'S NOT OUR PURPOSE ON
THIS EARTH TO BE VIOLENT AND
THAT WE SHOULD ALWAYS STRIVE.
LET'S DO OUR BEST IN TERMS OF
NONVIOLENT ACTION AND NONVIOLENT
RESISTANCE. AND IT MAKES SENSE
GIVEN HER BROTHERS WORK IN THAT
REGARD. THAT WAS A FAMILY
MANTRA. OF COURSE, MY OWN
GROWING UP WAS PERSONALLY AND
PROFESSIONALLY ALLOWED ME TO
ENCOUNTER EACH AND EVERY ONE. OF
THE CHAVEZ FAMILY MEMBERS WHO
CONTINUE TO STAY ORGANIZED,
PARTICULARLY IN SAN JOSE TO THIS
DAY. ALTHOUGH RITA THE YOUNGEST
SISTER IS THE ONLY ONE LEFT
LIVING OF HER GENERATION. THOSE
WHO HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF WORKING
WITH VICKY NEVER SPOKE ANYTHING
BUT THE BEST OF HER. WE HAVE
SUFFERED A GREAT LOSS. HER DEATH
WAS ACTUALLY EXTREMELY
UNEXPECTED IN TRAGIC, UM NOT A
NATURAL DEATH. SURELY YOU
REMEMBER THAT SOMEONE WHO LOVED
TO DANCE WAS ALWAYS RAPPING AND
JOKING. IN HER MEMORY LIVES ON
THROUGH FAMILY FRIENDS CHURCH IN
MANY ELECTED OFFICIALS WHO HAVE
GOTTEN TO KNOW HER OVER THE
YEARS AS PART OF THE CHAVEZ
FAMILY VISION. THANK YOU AND I'D
BE HONORED IF THIS HOUSE WOULD
ADJOURN THE SESSION TODAY IN HER
MEMORY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH, SENATOR. PLEASE BRING
HER NAME FORWARD. SO THE SENATE
PROPERLY MEMORIALIZE HER.
SENATOR BRADFORD, YOU ARE
