Marries the Girl Who
Saved His Life
JERSEY CITY, N.J. OP) —John
Brodeur, who lost his right leg
last August as a result of an at
tack by a shark, has married the
girl who pulled him to shore and
stuck by him through his con
valescence.
Brodeur, 25, and Jean Filormo,
22, were married Friday in a
simple double-ring ceremony.
Last Aug. 21, the couple, who
met in 1959, went swimming off
the Jersey coast. Miss Filoramo
had turned away for a moment
when she heard a scream and saw
Brodeur engulfed in a pool of
blood and frantically trying to
free himself from the shark’s
clutches.
Miss Filoramo pulled Brodeur
to shore and a passerby applied a
tourniquet. But Brodeur’s leg
had to be amputated a week later.
