GOLDEN GATE ESTATES, Fla. -- Tim Delano expected his life to change in 2010, but not for the reasons it did.
Delano graduated from Palmetto Ridge High School in June with plans to find a job and pursue a career as a mechanic.
Then in July, his plans were changed dramatically when he was attacked by a 10-foot alligator while swimming in an Estates canal. He survived by punching and pulling himself away from the gator, but he lost his left hand in the process.
