| 20. IL: New voter's family says she's city's oldest - Cool story! 114 yo lady! |
 New voter's family says she's city's oldest By Azam Ahmed | Tribune staff reporter January 4, 2008 On what family said was her 114th birthday, Virginia Call gave the gift of publicity to Chicago's election board. Hemmed in by dozens of people and a line of lighted news cameras, she registered to vote for the first time in about 20 years by marking an X on her registration card, her frail hand guided by a family friend. Dressed in a white head wrap and baby-blue fleece, Call said almost nothing to the crowd. If Call is 114—a figure that's difficult to prove—she would easily be the oldest registered voter in the city. Seated in her wheelchair, she squinted her cloudy eyes and beamed as family and officials congratulated her. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-oldvoter_04jan04,1,2086929.story?ctrack=1&cset=true |
