Georgia man, 72, graduates college with his 98-year-old mother in attendance

Lawrenceville, Georgia, resident Sam Kaplan graduated from Georgia Gwinnett College with a degree in cinema studies Thursday, and his 98-year-old mother was in the audience.

"I was riding down the highway and heard on the radio they were offering this degree," Kaplan told FOX 5 Atlanta. "The next exit was Collinsville, so I exited off and five minutes later, I was registering for class.

"I've always liked to write, I love to tell stories. I thought I could turn my stories into screenplays, but I needed to have the foundation of what to do."
