Wayland graduated from Round Rock High School in 1947 where he met his high school sweetheart and the love of his life, Doris June Roberts. Wayland and June were happily married for 74 years. He worked as Super Intendent for Austin White Lime Company for 25 years. While working for Austin White Lime Company, he was trained in first aid which enabled him to save the life of a young boy at an accident scene Wayland happened upon. Doctors advised the young boy’s family that Wayland had saved the young boys life by expertly applying pressure to stop the bleeding from a head wound until an ambulance arrived. The boy’s family was forever grateful for Wayland’s efforts and often visited him in the years following.
