And while Eleanor Benz may not have quite as much spring in her step as some of her teenage compatriots, she wore a smile as wide as any fresh graduate at her ceremony on May 30th.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://gimundo.com/news/article/90-year-old-woman-receives-high-school-diploma/"><P>For Benz, graduation day had been a long time coming: 73 years, to be precise.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://gimundo.com/news/article/90-year-old-woman-receives-high-school-diploma/"><P>The 90-year-old woman from Gurnee, Illinois had attended high school during the Great Depression, and had always loved school. But her family faced severe financial pressures, and so when Benz found a job, she left school, several months shy of her graduation date. She’d always hoped to go back and finish her studies, but life had other plans: she got married, and soon had her hands full with family life, giving birth to 15 children over the course of 23 years. </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://gimundo.com/news/article/90-year-old-woman-receives-high-school-diploma/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/gimundo.com/img/7DAEA8B4-EA08-4477-8238-4EB3FD25BC92" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/FE5A5C74-086F-41DE-8F63-E42067A10B8A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
