HAYS, Kan. - Sitting on the front row in her college classes carefully
taking notes, Nola Ochs is just as likely to answer questions as to ask
them. That's not the only thing distinguishing her from fellow students
at Fort Hays State University. She's 95, and when she graduates May 12,
she'll be what is believed to be the world's oldest person to be awarded
a college degree. The record Ochs will break, according to Guinness
World Records, belongs to Mozelle Richardson, who at age 90 in 2004
received a journalism degree from the University of Oklahoma.

I thought this was inspiring.

Sure it goes to show that it is never to late to do what your heart
desires. I feel happy for her. That is something amazing.:smile:

When I worked at a College we had an 87 year old woman graduate from a
fine arts program...learning really is life long...very inspiring.
