Tammy Wells
Tammy Wells came to the Biddeford-Saco Old Orchard Beach Courier and Kennebunk Post from the now-defunct Journal Tribune, where she was a staff writer for 22 years. She's enjoyed writing about old soldiers, quilt shows and big floods, the high school marching band, murder trials and the big bust that everyone hoped would put a dent in the drug trade for a while. She believes citizens need to know about the mil rate and why one road is getting paved and another one isn’t, what exciting new business is moving to town, what company is leaving and how much it costs to run a school. Tammy was raised in New Brunswick, Canada. She enjoys photographic excursions throughout rural Maine and New Hampshire with her husband, reading, their cats Skippy and Lola, and small Canadian islands in Passamaquoddy Bay.
