Study for four years, wait 50: A grad at last

The events of a lifetime sometimes get bumped out of order. Take Frank Schultz, who walked across the stage this weekend at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewaterâ??s commencement.

He earned his degree 50 years ago. He has been retired from his teaching career for a decade now.

The graduation ceremony was denied to him in 1959 because of what turned out to be a clerical error showing he missed the cut by a fraction of a credit.
