The late Howard Wayne, an alumnus of the University of San Diego (USD) School of Law, was recently honored with a street sign reading “Howard Wayne St” at the intersection of Morena Boulevard and Buenos Avenue in Linda Vista, near his wife Mary Lundberg’s residence.
Wayne, who passed away in November 2023, was a prominent figure in the community, serving as a deputy attorney general, assemblymember for the 78th District, and chair of the Linda Vista Planning Group. San Diego City Council member Raul Campillo, who organized the sign installation, praised Wayne’s dedication to making a positive impact in the community, describing him as an inspiration to many.
After retiring from the legislature, Wayne continued his community involvement by joining the Linda Vista Planning Group, where he worked alongside Felicity Senoski, the current chairwoman. Senoski highlighted Wayne’s love for his community and his ability to bring people together to effect positive change.
Wayne also had ties to USD School of Law, where he served as an adjunct professor, teaching advocacy skills and strategies. Additionally, he was President of the USD Law Alumni Association Board of Directors in 1977.
Wayne’s contributions were recognized at the San Diego County Bar Foundation’s 2024 Distinguished Lawyer Memorial Reception.
USD School of Law, where Wayne once studied and taught, is known for its offerings in various legal areas and boasts a faculty of outstanding scholars and teachers. The law school is accredited by the American Bar Association and is a member of the Association of American Law Schools. Founded in 1954, it is part of the University of San Diego, a private, independent, Roman Catholic university.
