It's Good to be King: Centenarian Bradt named Oak Crest royalty
DeKALB - Charlie Bradt, 103, has lost count of the countries he visited during his years spent traveling, but he is certain that he was never crowned king anywhere before DeKalb.
Bradt and 89-year-old Guyla Winebrener were selected by fellow residents at the Oak Crest DeKalb Area Retirement Center's annual spring dance to reign as the 2007 king and queen. Both said they were surprised to be chosen.
Winebrener, originally a Sycamore resident, was born on a farm in Mayfield Township but has lived at Oak Crest for the past 23 years. She spends her free time reading and volunteering as a secretary.
Her duties include directing and greeting guests as well as helping with event planning, like the spring dance.
