Jeremy G Byrne

Jeremy George Byrne (born 04 November, 1964, St John of God Hospital Subiaco, Western Australia [1]), lived on Heytesbury Road in Subiaco until August 1968, and now lives at 148 Fuller Street, Brookline, Massachusetts in the United States of America, and attends The Edward Devotion Elementary School.

Jeremy has seen a lot of geography in his eight years, including Fiji, Paris and London on the way out to Massachusetts. He enjoys living in New England, skiing slopes like Loon in the White Mountains and swimming in summer at Lake Ponkapoag in the Blue Hills Reservation, and he's looking forward with some trepidation to the return to Perth later in the year — although the route will include Africa, which is fairly exciting.

Jeremy enjoys reading, riding his bike, and watching Star Trek, Batman (although he's not really supposed to) and Ultraman on TV. His favourite toys include Major Matt Mason and the Colorforms Alien Alpha 7, and his favourite dinosaur is Triceratops.

The Moon landing made a big impression, and when he grows up Jeremy wants to be a scientist or a writer.

  It was the coal cellar of the place, and when I saw the work he had spent a week upon — it was a burrow scarcely ten yards long, which he designed to reach the main drain on Putney Hill — I had my first inkling of the gulf between his dreams and his powers.
