French pensioner, 91, finally gets PhD after 30 years
A 91-year-old French woman, Colette Bourlier, has been awarded a doctorate in geography 30 years after she began the degree on immigrant workers in the city of Besançon, eastern France. Before receiving her PhD she had to make a presentation to an academic jury at Franche-Comté University. Weekend's Martin Vennard asked her how she felt about her success.
