Former Crystal Lake Mayor George Wells Publishes Memoir

If you have $27.52 and are interested in Crystal Lake history, you might want to order former Crystal Lake Mayor George Wells’ memoir,

“It’s That Way Everywhere, George”

Wells served as mayor for one term, from 1991-1995.

From the book’s title and how Wells describes it below, his memoir might end up being the Grinch that stole Christmas from some area residents.

Undoubtedly, it is written carefully, but some Crystal Lakers will probably be able to read between the lines.

Here is how Wells describes his book:

“This is a story of a young lad from a farm in Southern Illinois who had a dream of becoming a fighter pilot in the United States Air Force. After many potential pitfalls the dream was realized. Adventures beyond the dreams unfolded as a full career in aviation and over twenty thousand hours of flying time were logged over nearly forty years.

“This is also a story of my adventures into politics. Environmentalists will be left in a state of disbelief as they read the story of the sell out of a 12,000 year old pristine glacial lake. Law abiding citizens who have faith in the Constitution will be amazed at how far a local legal system can go astray.

“This is a story of elected officials and self proclaimed, “Decision Makers” forgetting about the citizens that they were elected to represent as they pursue their own interests.

“This is my story.

“George Wells”
