Teenager's Message in a Bottle Reaches Spain

Dennis Davis has reached celebrity status in a Spanish village he's never visited.

Three years ago, the 16-year-old put a message in a bottle that eventually washed up on a beach near Malpica.

Now, thanks to an article about the bottle published in a Spanish newspaper Aug. 26, the whole town knows more about the American who lives more than 4,000 miles away than he knows about them.

The bottle was part of a project at Oak Ridge Middle School. Teachers there had students bring glass bottles with cork tops to class. On one side of a paper, the teachers wrote a note about themselves, with contact information. On the other side, students wrote things about themselves, including their ages, where they went to school and what their lives in Naples were like.
