What are the odds of a man your grandfather's age graduating from college along with you?

Something like this happened in United States when Sam Kaplan, a 72-year-old resident of Georgia graduated from Georgia Gwinnett College that too with his 98-year-old mother in attendance.

It took just a chance encounter for Kaplan, who never considered going to college after finishing high school in 1969, to receive his degree in cinema and media arts production.

Kaplan told Fox News that he was riding down the highway and heard on the radio about the course when he was just five minutes away from the college and eventually, went on to register for the class.
