SYDNEY, N.S. A Nova Scotia man is living proof that it s never too late to make the grade. Barry Hill is one of Nova Scotia s most recent graduates, and, at age 73, he s also one of the province’s oldest. The Sydney, N.S.-native who now lives in Truro, says it was a thrill when he graduated from the Academy of Learning Career College in Halifax in May. I can t get over the fact that this old brain pulled an 88 per cent average, Hill told CTV Atlantic. Hill’s time in high school more than fifty years ago didn t go as well.
