Whatever happened to the Hickory Hideout cast?

Whatever happened to the gang from Hickory Hideout? I know the guy with the perm who was the main adult host became a born again Christian and now works the tent revival circuit doing dramatic readings from the Gospels (he showed up at my son's bible camp a few years ago), but whatever happened to Buzz Buzzsaw, puppeteers Nancy Sander and Linda Wells, and the other female host?
 
The main 2 hosts were Wayne (Turney) and Cassie (Wolfe).

Also notable were the 2 squirrel puppets, Nutso and Shirley.

Let me share a personal experience with an HH alum:

20 years ago during a high school field trip to Playhouse Square, my senior class went to see "A Christmas Carol".

Wayne was actually playing Scrooge.

Hickory Hideout even then was off the air for a few years, but I recognized Wayne immediately and thought it was a hoot to see him on stage.

As to where they are now, haven't a clue.
 
Good Lord, the real story of that link is that former WKYC weather pixie Amy Hasten (now Murphy) was comedian Richard Jeni's girlfriend at the time of his death. I'd never heard that before.
