Waypoint Names
The name came from Wendy Devereaux an air traffic controller late last century. She moved on and I don't recall what happened to her. There was also a :"Lovey" and ":Paula" both ladies worked in the back office and I am sure there were some others but my memory is fast fading due to my advanced years. Everyone don't get old......it's no fun!!!!!
And I so advise!

The waypoint Timmy appeared about the same time as the character in South Park, and was often pronounced the same way.
Is "Sheed" still over Essendon?
