Son's day is mom's, too - Lindsay Jones, Palm Beach Post

Tracy Fenno received her Mother's Day gift a day early from her oldest son, Eric, when they both walked across the stage to receive degrees from Indian River Community College on Saturday morning.... Though the Fennos were both IRCC students at the same time, even taking classes from the same professors on occasion, it wasn't until last fall that mother and son, who live with Tracy Fenno's two younger sons, realized they would celebrate their graduations at the same time. "That was a surprise... but it was really just a coincidence," Tracy Fenno said. The 48-year-old started taking classes part-time in 1998, many of them online while she worked at the Blake Library in Stuart. She has enrolled in a distance learning program through the University of Maine to earn her bachelor's degree.
