Rhoda Blade-Charest is with Mike Stine and 3 others at Laurel Beltsville Senior Activity.
Had an interesting day today. The afternoon was great celebrating with Mom and 23 other centenarians at a beautiful lunch at the Laurel Beltsville Senior Center. Later on was not so good. I was taking Mom home and some blankety-blank-blank crashed into the back of my car, sideswiped the right side and then took off. What a jerk! Hope the police can find this creep!

How are you and your mother? Is everyone okay?
Rhoda Blade-Charest
Elaine Kaluski McVinney, we’re fine. Both had seatbelts on. Airbags did not deploy. We’re good.

People can be so selfish there is no need to hit one. It probably didn’t have any insurance. I hope they catch him and I’m glad you all right.
