Mary Wells

Adventures in Boyhood & Beyond Mary Wells

Take a nostalgic journey back to the 1950s, when ten-year-old boys rode bicycles, carried rifles, went fishing and hunting and slept in tree houses during the summer. Meet Loren Wells. Born in Oklahoma, he shares a lifetime of over 100 delightfully true and sometimes scary adventures involving a menagerie of animals, robbers and other events. As an enterprising teen, Loren's many odd jobs include how he made money with his toes, raised snake food and what he did to earn the most-fun job of a lifetime at age 16. A Young Corporal Wells survived a plane crash and met famous people while serving in the Army and stationed in Vietnam. Like the vehicles he owned, and the one he created, Loren rolls through life, and along the way, he imparts his own special wisdom, wit and whimsy.
