Wayne Laufert

Wayne Laufert, formerly a reporter/editor for a weekly newspaper, now proofreads material published by the United States government. He has been a member of the humanist Baltimore Ethical Society since 2013. A fan of Kurt Vonnegut since long before that (thanks to a perceptive high school English teacher—where have you gone, Michael McDermott?), Wayne joined the Vonnegut Baltimore book club in 2011, as it began its second season. These days he runs the club with lots of help.

Behaving Decently: Kurt Vonnegut’s Humanism is his first book. It can be ordered at local bookstores or purchased online at:
