Hazel, who was drafted in 1967 and served two years in the Army, retired three years ago after 21 years as a truck driver for PB&S Chemical. Before that, he worked as a driver for Houchens Industries. He was awarded the diploma under a state law allowing military veterans who did not graduate from high school to receive honorary diplomas.
