Yes, Wayne owned TT and several more but then he sold out to Jung's, I think, all his companies except one.

I knew him very well.

I knew he couldn't stay out of the seed business for long,so it was no surprise to me that he got back in.

As I recall when he started his first one,TT,he joined SSE and got seeds from others to start out with, I also recall that I think he was an ad executive for Colgate Palmolive and Peet,so his descriptions had that ad type slant, and he was not entirely liked by others for several reasons.

All this being said I do wish him well with his new comapany since once a company owner,one who has a passion for selling,etc.

Just don't ask him about the variety Big Zac f1.
