Woman Gets College Degree At 97

A 97-year-old Texas woman will graduate next month from San Antonio's Northeast Lakeview College

Hazel Feldman graduated from a New Jersey high school in 1943.

She finally started college in New Jersey in the 1980s but took a 15-year break after moving to San Antonio.

After enrolling at Northeast Lakeview, she says she had been taking one course at a time since she was in her 90s.

The Alamo Colleges Board of Trustees granted her request to accept life experiences as credit and will present her with an honorary Associate of Arts degree.
