Tucson surely rivals Miami for the number of centenarians, or folks who are age 99 or older.
We have at least 50 of them down here in the constant sun – and that’s not a bad thing. Actually, some of the stories they tell are pretty cool, like the guy who hung out with a murderer.
It was even in the good ole’ days of murders, waaaaay before Charles Manson (but after Jack the Ripper).
Walter Michael, age 101, was on the Arizona Board of Pardons and Paroles and got to sentence Winnie Ruth Judd. Judd shot and killed two of her roommates and stuffed them in steamer trunks. One of the bodies was a shade too large and had to be chopped up to fit. She tried to travel with the trunks to L.A. but the train’s baggage guy wouldn’t let the trunks go once he saw blood seeping and oozing from the cracks.
Michael said the biggest change he’s seen in his 102 years on earth is not necessarily for the better.
“We’re becoming more savage,” he said of the human race. “We’re not big enough to police and tame the world.”
