Today’s high school graduates have a good reason to be especially proud, 99-year-old Viola Wenzinger says.

Wenzinger, who graduated 80 years ago from a class of 13 at Miller City 11 girls and 2 boys knows all about resiliency.
At the age of 4, she lost her mother and was sent to live with her grandmother. Five years later, her grandmother passed away and she moved back in with her father.
“Wherever my dad went, I went too. I learned a lot from him. One thing he made sure of is that I went to school,” she said.

“We’ve got two years before they even start with construction,” Stinebaugh said. “We’ve got plenty of time to look at the parks. … We’ll be ready to do whatever we need to do, and we want everyone to know the dog park is not going away.”
