Hawaii’s AG Past to Present
Captains and majors can take heart from the next adjutant general. Will Wayne took over as a major when Johnson stepped down. Even with an immediate promotion to colonel, Wayne also apparently didn’t like the job. After only six months, Wayne resigned to go into the regulars. Wayne came to Hawaii in 1918 to be city editor for the Honolulu Star-Bulletin. After managing the Mid-Pacific Carnival for two years, Wayne became Governor Lucius Pinkham’s secretary, from where he received the appointment to adjutant general. No further record of Wayne can be found.
