Second-Grader Swims From Alcatraz

SAN FRANCISCO ? A 7-year-old Arizona boy swam through calm waters and a favorable tide Monday to become one of the youngest swimmers to cross the channel from Alcatraz Island to San Francisco.

Braxton Bilbrey, a second-grader from Glendale, Ariz., made the estimated 1.4-mile swim to Aquatic Park in 47 minutes, according to his coach. {more}

My coworker came back from BEA reporting that she met Joshua and Steve, and that they told her all about Alcatraz. She said that Joshua kept calling us TSR--"we should get Brandon to write something for TSR!"

lol.  Sounds like Joshua.  He certainly has his quirks.  Apparently, he hunted down the president of Scholastic and chatted with her about ALCATRAZ.
