Biographical Note
A native of Hartford City, J. Wayne Storms was born on August 21, 1920, to Shirley and Hallie Storms. He married the former Maxine Reed in 1943. Both attended Burris Laboratory School and Ball State Teachers College. He was a U.S. Army veteran of World War II. Storms was a retired education administrator, having served as the business manager and assistant superintendent for the Dearborn and Trenton Public School systems in Michigan.
