Several times a week during the winter Wayne Ashby walks briskly from the H&S office and down East Broad Street to the Athletic Club of Columbus, an H&S client. A few minutes later he is playing the first of several hard games of squash. To watch from the gallery and observe Wayne's speed and agility in this fastest of court games is to marvel at his energy. In fact, he leaves many men ten years his junior panting in his wake. He breathes deeply and perspires like his opponents, but the effort he puts into the game helps him keep in shape. The five club championships that Wayne has won on the squash courts tell the story. The partner in charge of the H&S office in the Ohio capital city is a man on the move—and not just in athletics. He knows everybody in town, or so it seems when you walk down the street with him and see how many people in downtown Columbus greet him on a first-name basis. "Be involved" is the example he offers to the younger men coming up on his staff. Wayne Ashby is a living example of the value to a professional organization of having an outgoing, warm personality to go with the abilities of the seasoned professional and a willingness to "be involved." The success of the Columbus Office speaks well of his way of doing business. When Wayne Ashby merged his own public accounting firm with H&S in 1961, the office had only five people. As the practice grew since then, the office had to expand its quarters in the Empire Building three times in nine years, more than doubling its work load every three years. In October 1970 the office moved into the new Midland Building, renting the entire nineteenth floor and subletting about a third of the 10,500 square OFFICE PROFILE Columbus
