The Graduate

We traveled to Columbia over the weekend to see my mom graduate from college. (Yes, you read that right.) She left college when she was 20 to marry my dad, and the two moved to Knoxville for his job. She took classes there, and when they ended up back in Ozark County she tried to commute to SMS in Springfield (now MSU) to finish her degree, but it just never worked out. A few years ago she realized it was one thing she really regretted, so she started taking classes through Mizzou online, and she finally finished!
(See, it's never too late to go to college.)

Exiting through the columns on her way to graduate.


It'll be 10 years in May since I graduated from this school!

Her "class."

Done and done!

Still looks the same... 40 years later. :)
