Oklahoma ? Almost 90 years after he left school early to help support his family, Ed Daubenspeck received his diploma from Cache High School.

The 99-year-old Cache resident was surrounded by family and well-wishers Friday as he was honored during an assembly at the southwest Oklahoma town’s multipurpose center.

“I feel kind of like I’m floating,” said Daubenspeck, who graduated from the eighth grade in 1919 and then went to work to help support his family, including 16 brothers and sisters, following the death of his father.
