No Doubt Which Lahser Graduate Calls Him Dad
One Lahser High School dad expressed his pride in his graduating student in a special way Sunday.

Richard Woods is a proud man. Proud of his daughter Rrielle for being part of the final graduating class of Lahser High School, and proud of himself for helping her get there.
So much so, he put it in print for all of those in Oakland University’s O’rena to see Sunday. On his shirt.
“Its to let everyone know, like hey, I’m the dad,” he said of the bright white, oversize t-shirt with ‘RRielle’s Dad’ printed in large blue letters across the front. The shirt was just one of a few for other family members that Woods had specially designed for graduation.

For maximum impact, Woods sat in the center of the lower level directly across the stage so he wouldn’t be hard for her to find.
