 Sidney Brown of Leavenworth said he was nervous on May 14, perhaps like a number of other college graduates. Sitting in Charles Koch Arena at Wichita State University, Brown said he found himself hoping for a bit of simple luck. "I thought, 'I know I'm going to trip when I get up there,'" he said. Brown didn't trip. Instead, he said he was greeted with a roar of applause from the crowd and from his fellow students and a handshake from the president of WSU as he crossed the stage and flipped the tassel on his cap. Brown, 63, received a Bachelor of General Studies degree that day, his first college diploma and the culmination of a 45-year dream.
