Myrtle gets a visitor at the New England Aquarium

New England Aquarium/NATIONAL GRID

Myrtle the Turtle, who is 80, got a feeding on Wednesday from National Grid Massachusetts President Marcy Reed. Reed (kneeling, above) was at the New England Aquarium to get a tour from teen interns. (National Grid sponsors the teen internship program.) In case you are wondering, the lifespan of a sea turtle is about 100 years. Myrtle is the oldest resident at the aquarium.
