A chance meeting with a cute girl helped Daniel Alcantor save a life. The Class of 2012 Escalon High School alum –who will graduate later this month from the U.S. Naval Academy – had the opportunity to become a bone marrow donor and that proved to be a lifesaving move. The son of Robert and Tammy Alcantor of Escalon, and older brother of Andrew (Class of 2015), Daniel was in San Diego training with the Navy when a series of events started to unfold.
