90-Year-Old L.I. Woman Gets a Special Graduation

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (AP)  -- Better late than never.


Alice Stockton-Rossini reports

A 90-year-old Oceanside woman had her graduation ceremony all to herself at Hofstra University on Tuesday, as she received the master's degree she started working toward a few decades ago.

Roslyn Klein finished most of the work for her education degree by the late 1960s, but wasn't able to finish because of professional and personal responsibilities.

She contacted the school, and discovered she had to write just one more paper to get her degree. She missed the May 18 graduation ceremony due to the death of her husband, so the school gave her a private ceremony.
