Lee Quinn has devoted his time to dangerous living. At twenty seven years of age he has more experiences than a person of one hundred and seven. In his short span of years, Lee has been a deep sea diver, stunt flyer, free topper, explorer, automobile and motorcycle racer, ski instructor and mountain climber. He is a photographer and author of adventure stories for newspapers and magazines. He tapered off once in life — long enough to marry Mary Ann — but that didn't slow Lee down. Now there are two people enjoying a thrill packed life and they love it — as they do each other.
