A Maine woman finally celebrates her college graduation, more than 75 years after she left school
A Maine woman is finally celebrating her college graduation more than 75 years after she left school.
Jessie White was supposed to graduate from Beal College in Bangor, Maine in 1939, but a $5 transcript fee kept her from receiving her degree.
This week White, 99, was finally given her diploma in a special ceremony hosted by the president of Beal College, Alan Stehle.
“It was wonderful. I had a lot of fun,” White told ABC News of the special graduation ceremony. “I didn’t think my life was complete without it.”
