We Had No Fences

Take a man who survived growing up in a small Midwestern town during the 1940s and 1950s, turn him upside down and squeeze. You will hear an outpouring of stories of adventure, innocence, naiveté, and a touch of the bittersweet in the tales that pour from his lips. Just don’t squeeze too hard. Dennis Wilson grew up in Southern Minnesota, graduated high school at seventeen and joined the Navy. He married his high school sweetheart, completed college in California, and was a teacher, counselor and school principal for thirty years. Throughout his lifetime he enjoyed telling stories of life as a kid in a 1950’s small town. Unfortunately his audience was sometimes skeptical as to the veracity of his tales so he decided to put them into print, the one source people always believe.
