Teenager takes his great-granny to school dance - because she never had one
AUSTIN DENNISON is a 19-year-old high school student in Rockford, Ohio. A couple of months back, his final school prom was coming up.
His 89-year-old great-grandmother Delores Dennison never went to her own school prom, because her family didn’t have enough money.
So, Austin told Fox News:

Delores was resistant at first.
But Austin said no, he wanted to take her. So she went shopping for a dress.
Whoops!

Austin even bought her a pearl necklace for the big night. And then they headed to the dance.
They made a grand entrance, though Delores had to kick a few balloons out of the way:
Then had their first dance:

They danced to the Frank Sinatra song Dolores. “How I love the kisses of Dolores…”
And generally had a ball.
Dennison’s friends have been paying tribute to him on Twitter.
Whoops!

While Delores simply told Fox News: “It was wonderful… It was quite a night.”
