Bob Mann, 71, graduated from Kiski Area High School Wednesday night.
He quit high school in 1965 to serve our country in the Navy.
He talked with our partners at the Tribune Review about why receiving his diploma is so important.
“I'm very grateful that the school district, everyone's come together to do this for me,” Mann said. “It's exciting, it’s something all my life that I kind of missed.”
