Ohio teen takes great-grandmother to senior prom


A Rockford, Ohio, teenager asked his great-grandmother to go with him to his senior prom – because she never had one of her own.

"He was so sweet and adamant about it," 89-year-old Delores Dennison told Fox News. "I asked him, 'But are you sure that you wouldn't like to take one of the young ladies who could get out there and do everything with you?' He said no. 'I want you.' "
