Alexander Graham Bell

by Dylan from Lincoln

I am going to tell you about Alexander Graham Bell. He was the luckiest man in the world.

Alexander Gram Bells nickname is Aleck. He was born on March 3,1847.

He shared a birthday with his grandfather and he also shared a name with his grandfather too. He was given the nickname, Aleck, after a family friend.

In 1867 his brother Charles died from tuberculosis. A few years later his other brother died from it too. Alexander went to a few classes at Edinburgh university.

I chose him as my hero because he invented the phone.
