Graduation of two students aged 95 and 85 years of secondary school

Two American schools celebrated the graduation of two elderly men from their old students who were unable to attend a high school graduation ceremony decades ago.

Joe Perikon, 95, left school for World War II in 1943, while Bill Craddock, 85, was unable to attend the graduation ceremony because of his participation in the 1950-53 Korean War.

Pericon received his high school diploma from his school in Tampa, Florida, after returning from the war in Europe, while Craddock received a certificate from his school in Tennessee.
