When the 78-year-old Lockport High School graduate showed up at the Tinley Park Convention Center for Oak Forest’s graduation ceremonies last week, it marked the 50th straight graduation he has attended.His appearance on Tuesday may or may not be his last. But if it is, it was a night he won’t forget.Principal Jane Dempsey asked people from the audience from class of 1973 to stand up and there were a few takers.She then asked one more person to stand — Moroz.
After the ceremony, Moroz said he met a mother/daughter pair who he taught individually when they were in high school. It was one of several such combos he has taught over the years.“Not that I know of,” Moroz said. “I could have, but no one ever told me. Maybe they didn’t want to make me feel bad.”
