102-year-old Prescott woman shines at Democratic National Convention
Centenarian delegate exhausted but exhilarated by unexpected celebrity

State Delegate Rep. Ruben Gallego kisses Jerry Emmett, 102, of Prescott, Arizona, center, on the cheek during an Arizona state delegation roll call at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia Tuesday, July 26.
