MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON
Regional Roundup
by Cleve Twltchell
Mail Tribune Regional Editor
The week before last, a movie called "No Man Is An
Grants Pass. We had planned to run a story by Priscilla
Island" played In Medford for four days. It is based on the
actual wartime experiences of a man who now lives In
Averill, our Grants Pass correspondent, in conjunction with
the film's appearance locally, but the movie opened with
so little advance warning and closed so quickly that
the best we were able to do was to run a photograph of
the man and his family a week ago last Friday.
The story is an interesting one, however, and the film
will undoubtedly be shown elsewhere in the valley some
time in the future, so here is Mrs. Averill's report:
"The real life George Tweed, whose one-man war with
the Japanese during their occupation of Guam is the sub
ject of the film 'No Man Is An Island,' almost became a
resident of Medford when he retired from the Navy after
a spectacular career which included events depicted in the
movie.
& -A.
LOOK OVER PHOTOS George Tweed and his son, George
Jr. look over photos taken by the U.S. Navy after Tweed's
rescue from Guam in 1944.
"Tweed, now a comfortably settled family man and
businessman in Grants Pass, said he left his native Port
land in 1922 to 'join the Navy and see the world.' By the
end of his 25-year hitch, capped by a war all his own on
Guam, he had seen enough of the world to know that he
wanted to come back and settle in Oregon. He started out
from Washington, D.C., with his wife, Dolores, and two
small children and headed for the Rogue River valley 'be
cause I remembered its climate was better than the rest of
Oregon.'
Found What He Wanted in Grants Pass
" 'We kept going west until we got to Medford,' he re
called, 'Then we spent two weeks there hounding real
estate agents to find us exactly what we wanted. One day
we decided to go for a drive toward the Willamette valley.
After spending the first night in Grants Pass, however, we
got no further because here, we suddenly knew, was the
place we'd been looking for.'
"The Tweeds now live in a comfortable white frame
house on Redwood ave., just southwest of the city, with a
horse, a dog, two Siamese cats, and various other livestock
belonging to son George, Jr., 16, and daughter Lolly, 15,
both students at Grants Pass High school. Behind the house
sits another building housing Tweed's TV shop, where he
puts to good use his electronics skill gained as a Navy
radioman.
"Thus, the same abilities which gained him a death sen
tence from the Japanese 25 years ago are the ones with
which he earns his livelihood today. Among the handful
of American survivors who escaped to the bush when the
Japanese occupied Guam in the early days of World War
II, Tweed was considered the most dangerous because as
a radioman he possessed skills which might enable him to
communicate with the outside. Therefore, the price on his
head was highest of all. Ironically, after 10 months all the
other American survivors had been captured and killed,
and Tweed alone remained. It was to be almost two years
later before the Americans returned and he swam out to
be rescued by the startled crew of an American destroyer.
Boyhood Trips Helped Out Later
"A knowledge of the woods gained during his Oregon
boyhood hunting trips in the hills around Winona he cred
its with helping to keep him alive in the bush and one
jump ahead of his pursuers.
" 'It would not have been possible for me to exist that
long alone, however,' he added, 'without the help of the
wonderful Guamanians who brought me food and sus
tenance in my various hideouts. That is where the title
of the movie comes in.'
" 'No Man Is An Island,' he mused. 'It means that . . .
No matter how alone a man may be, his existence is never
completely independent of all others. We need each other.
I needed the Guamanians in order to exist alone during
the occupation; and, strangely enough, they needed me.
They felt that, as long as I remained alive, fighting for
my freedom, 1 was sure that the Americans would one day
be returning to the Island. This made them also sure, and
held out hope for a better future." "
