48-year-old is first to graduate from Tulsa Virtual Academy

Thirty years after he dropped out of high school because of family illnesses and emergencies, Andrew Cain finally received his diploma - and an orange and black tassel - on Thursday. Cain, members of his family and representatives from the Tulsa Virtual Academy and Booker T. Washington High School attended a special ceremony in Superintendent Keith Ballard's office, where Cain thanked everyone for coming and for the opportunity to finish what he started in 1981. "I'm really overwhelmed," he said at the afternoon ceremony. "It makes me feel loved, makes me proud."
