"I figured if I had a degree, I'd have to get a job," Walter Bunker says.
Bunker will graduate from Xavier University May 17, but he won't be jumping into the job market. The 90-year-old World War II veteran says he'll be fulfilling a lifelong dream just by crossing the Cintas Center stage with his bachelor's degree.
