The DR might have its very own entry in the Guinness Book of World Records with local centenarian Gregoria Disla Germosen or Dona Goya. Dona Goya is thought to have been born in the town of Loma de Cabrera in 1890. Her parents were Benita Disla and Conrado Moncion. She moved to the city of Santiago in 1910, and became well-known locally for making empanadas. She went on to have four children, only one of whom, a daughter - Ana Maria Disla - survives. Ana Maria is now 90 years old and cares for her aging mother. Locals say that Dona Goya is healthy enough to walk each day, but that she also smokes a cigar every day. Currently, Edna Scott Parker is considered the world's oldest living person at the age of 114, though no word on whether or not action is being taken in order to verify and officially recognize Dona Goya's extraordinary longevity.
