From storming machine gun posts to felling houses, Herb Campbell’s done it all.
We’ve all heard the expression: Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Well, machine operator and demolition man Herb Campbell has been there, done that, got the t-shirt, and worn it out dozens of times. And at 85 years young, he’s still happiest behind the controls of his Kobelco ED190 Bladerunner excavator.
As demonstrated in this excellent article from Florida’s Jacksonvile Times, Herb’s tale is of a live lived; of a love of machines that has seen him felling Japanese machine gun posts with a Caterpillar D8; and of the invention of his own system to prevent beach erosion.
It’s a great article about a fascinating guy – Check it out here.
