Prodigal Son Matthers Returns After Five Year Odyssey

Wendell Matthers, 17, returns to Gettysburg Pennsylvania after a five year trek from age eight. He left in December 1973 with little money and clothing, traveled across the northern United States to Seattle and Oregon, then California living with a family for two months before flying home. He slept wherever shelter found and did odd jobs, sometimes stealing food, and was briefly beaten. He says the road was not fun and inspired him to value his family. He plans to finish school and may pursue songwriting and guitar.
