SEPTA employee surprises student with graduation card
Bill Vanish has been working for SEPTA for 40 years. He spent 35 years as a train driver before becoming a station assistant.
Every morning, he greets familiar faces like Central High School student Elana Maser.
The two became friends over the past four years. And as Maser's graduation date grew closer, Vanish surprised her with a card.
Maser was so overjoyed that she felt compelled to write him a card back.
This exchange of acts of kindness culminated on Maser's graduation day at The Kimmel Center. Vanish was there to congratulate her after the ceremony.
They further shared words of encouragement and took photos together on Broad Street.
Maser plans to attend the University of Pennsylvania in the fall. Meanwhile, Vanish is preparing for a new chapter of his own. He plans to retire in the summer of 2027.
Watch the video above to see what this experience meant to them.

Tropical Storm Rachel Expected to Impact Southern California and Surrounding States | Complex Setup
Once again, the setup remains to be very complex, so it is no surprise that the track remains difficult to pin down with now almost two areas of shift possible. A cutoff low, an upper level trough, and what remains of Rachel all have to interact, with their timing and positioning playing a major role in how this unfolds. Even small changes could shift where the deepest moisture moves, where the lifting mechanism is, where thunderstorms develop, and which areas receive the heaviest rainfall. That is why individual model runs can show noticeably different outcomes. Confidence should improve as these features evolve, but the exact track and rainfall totals still have room to change still.
