Hammond Central School’s commencement ceremony was extra special Sunday as a 98-year-old World War II veteran received an honorary diploma. Bill Plantz was supposed to graduate from Hammond Central School in 1941, but he joined the Navy before that could happen:

Kim Slate

I’m happy to say I graduated the same year with you! Such a honor!
