Wayne Westerberg's Encounter



Wayne Westerberg is the owner of a grain elevator in Carthage, South Dakota, who employs McCandless for a period of time. Whatever job Westerberg presented him with, Alex completed without any complaints (18). Westerberg met him when Cris was hitch hiking, trying to reach Alaska. Westerberg and McCandless created a fatehr and son bond that grew as time went by. "That fall he developed a lasting bond with both the town and Wayne Westerberg" (19). The impact of his death was tragic due to their close relationship.
