Peter Wells (F66) did a BSc(Mech) and an MBA at Wits, worked for a Consulting Engineering company in South Africa and became one of Jehovah's Witnesses. He married Lindsay McLuckie from Marandellas before moving to San Francisco, California in 1979 He wrote in 2006:"The move had a surprise benefit - I had no more of the allergies that always bothered me in Africa. Worked for a Consulting Engineering company there for a while, then took up flying full time. Had 3 children, who now all live in California. Took up snow boarding and surfing which are my favorite sports. Worked my way up as a corporate pilot, recently flying Gulfstream and Boeing Business Jets all over the world. Most recently I have been flying for Google. Some of the places I have been in addition to Europe and the Americas are Vietnam, China, Taiwan and Russia, which has been interesting. The trouble with jets is they go away from home, and the bigger they are, the further they go, and the longer they stay away. Got tired of too much of this and have semi-retired, I do some flying as a back-up pilot when others are in training or on vacation. Some interesting people I have flown in addition to the Google founders Larry Page and Sergei Brin and CEO Eric Schmidt are: Al Gore, Barbara Bush, Colin Powell (interesting dealing with Secret Service on those), Caroll Shelby (car designer) and Joe Montana (football player). I now keep busy managing my investments (hoping I can remain semi-retired) and as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. I go to Hawaii on vacation every year and am thinking about moving there. "Email .
