M Richards and Mark Wells

It took just a bit of snooping for Calamari to figure out that M Richards and Mark Wells are two names for the same person.

M Richards is a clown who fancies himself as a bit of a writer and character. M is much funnier than Mark. M enjoys comedy and making folks laugh. M is far more creative than Mark.

Mark is a dad who adores his family. Mark is a blue-collar worker. Mark is very much a technician. If you give him a problem and the tools to work with, he will use his "sequential mindedness", to try to figure things out.

Mark is the son of Nancy, a former teacher at San Pedro High School. He is also the brother of Ruth, and the brother-in-law of Phil Buono.

Mark would like you to know that if you ever write to or about M Richards, please do not put a period after "M". M hates that.
