Although Wayne Harrigan’s teaching career was mainly focused on numbers, he has always had a respect for and enjoyment of working with words. Over the years he has written and edited several newsletters. This includes editing the Bicentennial Project of the NB Math Council, a booklet entitled Mathematics Celebration: 200 to Share.
Articles written by Wayne have appeared in Teaching Today, High School Math Clinics: Worth a Try, and The Autograph Collector, In recent years, he and his wife Barb have been the New Brunswick representatives for CARP, Canada’s Association for the Fifty-Plus. This has led to many articles and letters to the editor on the subject of seniors’ rights. The couple also contributes a regular column to Choices after 50.
Wayne has created two web sites which he updates and maintains. The first deals with their CARP work and can be found at: The second is genealogy-based, Harrigan That’s Me! And can be found at www.barleycove.blogspot.com
A native of northern New Brunswick, Wayne attended Teachers’ College in Fredericton and received B.A. and B.Ed. degrees from the University of New Brunswick.

B. He retired in June 1997.
In addition to Harrigan research and seniors’ rights, his interests include family activities, travel, freelance writing, music, photography, the internet, fitness, and collecting authentic autographs of well-known Canadians.
