ASBURY PARK, N.J. – Marion Thomas logged into a Zoom call Sunday to celebrate her 90th birthday with family members. Amid the familiar faces on the screen were three strangers, including a man wearing a cap and gown.

“Today, I have the distinct honor of conferring your bachelor’s degree,” he said.

Oh! That is so cool!
That might be me in a few years! hahaha!
It's strange but NOW for the first time, I find I have a HUNGER to learn everything I can about literature, philosophy, physics! I can't read or study ENOUGH about them!
Spent my whole life working and now that it's time for ME, I want to learn everything i possibly can! Age is meaningless!

Bless her heart! Maybe I will reconsider taking some more classes now by her inspiration.
