COLLEGE STATION, Texas A Richardson man rolled his way across the stage Friday night, ten years after he expected to graduate from college.
John Comstock had his left leg amputated above the knee after he was trapped in the 1999 Texas A&M bonfire collapse.
It took rescue workers more than five hours to pull him out from the tons of rubble.
Just a long, hard journey, he said. I had to drop and pick back up and drop a couple times and come back, but I just persevered with it and finally graduated.
Comstock was awarded a bachelor's degree in agricultural leadership. He received a standing ovation from classmates and onlookers.
