93 year-old Pat Moore was a half semester short of graduating from Alvin High School when the Army drafted him in 1946. Getting a diploma took a back seat to a crop-dusting career and raising a family. But he finally got his diploma, a new letter jacket and lots of accolades after reaching out to the district. Alvin ISD helped me get in touch with Mr. Moore and it was a pleasure speaking with him about this long overdue achievement. It comes just a couple of months before one of his great-granddaughters graduates from Alvin High.
