Mayor to Join 107th Birthday Celebration of Welbrook Arlington Residents

RIVERSIDE, Calif. - March 23, 2017 - PRLog -- Mayor William "Rusty" Bailey will join Welbrook Arlington senior living community in celebrating the 107^th birthday of residents Gladys Sutherland and Wesley Sorn tomorrow, March 24th. This is the fourth year that Mayor Bailey has attended the centenarians' birthday festivities.

"It's such an honor that Mayor Bailey has joined us for the last three years in celebrating Wes and Gladys," said Kathy Franco, executive director for Welbrook Arlington. "They're tickled to count him as a guest alongside their family, friends and fellow Welbrook residents."

According to Franco, this year the residents are also looking forward to the entertainment scheduled for the birthday celebration including Peggy Gohl, an original member of "Golddiggers". The Golddiggers were a female singing and dancing troupe that performed in the style of Las Vegas showgirls and backed Dean Martin on his show and nightclub act.

Gladys Sutherland was born March 6, 1910 in Nebraska. She was married in 1931 to Harold Warbenton and has two daughters. Her love for knowledge led her to a 25-year career in the Stock Market. She attributes her desire for learning and a good education to her longevity. Among the many activities she enjoys are reading biographies, reciting the Presidents, states and capitals, and playing bridge and poker.

Wesley Sorn was born March 25, 1910 in Minnesota. Raised on a farm, he continued in his father's footsteps raising livestock, poultry and cereal crops. An all-American at heart, he enjoys country music, Western movies, baseball, basketball and church. When asked his key to longevity, Mr. Sorn said, "No drugs. No alcohol. Never married. That's why I still have a baby face."
