Wells was a cherished friend at the National Capital Trolley Museum. I was delighted to hear him tell of a boyhood friend he traveled the rails with as a teenager only to find that the friend was an anesthesiologist that I had worked with in surgery for several years in Salisbury. I always enjoyed Wells stories and his love of family. He spoke often of his childen, grandchildren and great grands. He was so proud of them. He will be missed. My thoughts and prayers of comfort are with you, Mary Ann and all of your family.

I attended Roosevelt High School in Washington, DC during the 1940s and remembered fondly a very nice person named Wells Drumright. Is this the person who died?
