Teen Called Weakling; Saves Man From Pond:

Justin Gregorich, 14, was one of three people who jumped into the water Wednesday to pull Raymond J. Kane from his sinking Lincoln Town Car.

“It’s amazing — there are snakes and there are alligators … all three of them just jumped in right after that guy,” said paramedic Mike Eash.

Gregorich then woke up from his dream.
