One of the great lessons of life is that you're never too old to learn, words that ring especially true for one graduate of Fordham University.
John Lenehan has some unfinished business to take care of at Fordham University. He is ready to address something he started 65 years ago but never finished.
Still, he had a successful career and a beautiful family, but there was just something missing. One morning, at 86 years old, he made an announcement to his wife.So Lenehan asked the school if he could come back. On Friday, Lenehan rang the bell at a ceremony for veterans graduating this year, all a bit younger. And on Saturday, he finally gets his diploma.That need to tidy up lose ends, to honor the lifelong pursuit of knowledge, is just hard wired in some. Just a few years ago, six years ago to the day, in fact, Eyewitness News anchor Bill Ritter, who was kicked out of a Southern California university because of an anti war protest in 1972, his passion as big as his hair, got his college degree.
