Heard Saturday at 1 p.m. on KMJ 580
July 18, 2009: Murrell Twibell, U.S.S. Enterprise -
What do you imagine yourself doing when you're
90 years old? Riding a motorcycle from Mexico to
Canada in three days? Ivanhoe's Murrell Twibell
is not your average nonagenarian. At 93, he still
has more energy, enthusiasm, and mental acuity
than people one-third of his age (I speak from
first-hand experience).
Listen to the July 18th edition of Hometown
Heroes to hear Twibell relate tales from his Navy
career, including his time on the USS Enterprise
during World War II. You'll hear how his ingenuity
and unique mechanical skill helped him develop a
modification that caused his fellow sailors to tell
him he "saved the ship."
