Starkey relives long awaited Texas Tech degree moment
Sharon Starkey walked the stage at Texas Tech University thirty years after earning her degree in Home Economics.

Starkey and fellow graduates later attended a belated ceremony with tours, receptions, and special guests in Lubbock, sharing memories of the storm and the class.
