91-year-old WWII veteran gets high school diploma
Dr. Webb presented Bob Bockelman, 91-year-old WWII veteran with his high school diploma on Tuesday, August 29, 2017. Mr. Bockelman, originally from St. Bernard, left school as a junior to volunteer in World War II. After returning from war he earned his GED, however, one of his biggest regrets was not receiving his high school diploma. St. Bernard-Elmwood Place Schools, Florence Assisted Living, and the non-profit Second Wind Dreams joined forces to make his dream a reality. Congratulations Mr. Bockelman and thank you for your service!
