SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (AP) -- Three graduates. (One party, probably a big cake) Three generations of the same family are getting high school diplomas: James Nunley, 36, daughter Brittany Wright, 17, and father Jim Nunley, 72.

Jim Nunley would have graduated in 1953 but left school with less than a year to go while working in the family's paint business.

"All those years, I kept thinking about it and thought I ought to do something about it," the elder Nunley said of a diploma.

He asked his son if he would join him in a program for adults offered by the Granite School District.

James Nunley, a truck driver, worked a 10-hour shift, then studied history and science each night for a month to make up 3.5 credits needed for a diploma.

Father and son graduate Saturday. Brittany is graduating from Hillcrest High School on June 5. "It's a long time overdue. Weird," James Nunley said. "I don't even think it's hit me yet."
