➡106-YEAR-OLD WOMAN GRADUATES HIGH SCHOOL NEARLY 88 YEARS AFTER DENIED HER DIPLOMA OVER BOOK DISPUTE

Mrs Reba Williams said she completed all her required classes to graduate high school in Mount Vernon, but was denied her diploma because she refused to read a final book she had already read assigned by a teacher.

Vernon Superintendent Steve Short, who read over her high school records himself, was on hand to personally award the woman her diploma. At 106-years-old Reba Williams received her high school diploma from Mount Vernon Schools Superintendent Steve Short at her home in Columbus, Ohio.

"Congratulations, Reba, you are the top of your class. You've taught us a lot," he said.

Former director of the Ohio Department of Agriculture Fred Dailey said that his wife, Rita, a former teacher in William's school district, had heard the story and brought the issue to the attention of the Mount Vernon Board of Education.

Mrs Dailey says she would have handled her expected 1925 graduation differently if she were her teacher at the time.

'I would not be one to condone a student not completing an assignment, but I would offer alternatives,' she said. 'Apparently, she wasn’t offered that opportunity.'

Happy Birthday to one third of one of the greatest songwriting and production teams of all time, Brian Holland who celebrates his 82nd birthday today. During their time at Motown Records from 1962 to 1967, Holland-Dozier-Holland helped create that Motown sound, writing and producing for such great acts as The Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, The Isley Brothers and many others. After a legal dispute with Berry Gordy, they launched their own labels, Invictus and Hot Wax Records recording such artists as Chairmen of the Board, Freda Payne and others. Brian together with the rest of the team was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1988 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.
Brian was also a very talented singer as you can hear on this gem that Brian wrote and recorded as a solo artist, on their Invictus label, from 1974 "I'm So Glad, Pt 1".
