Ellsworth Soares, a U.S. G.I.,
Came back home after World War II,
But not a college kind of guy,
The G.I. Bill he did not do.
But years later, Hazel, his wife,
Used Ellworth’s benefits from then,
To pursue a new college life,
Graduated two thousand ten,
At the young age of 94,
And grateful for the G.I. Bill,
Making real now, her dreams before,
Giving her the help to fulfill.

The G.I. Bill made history,
Like Hazel Soares and her degree.

I attended college in 1946 and graduated in 1953. Taught school several winters and spent every summer in college.
