Comments on Natasha Pettigrew's memorial ride

The first thing that impressed me was Kenniss Henry's smile. (Natasha's mother, pictured) Before the ride she detailed her fight to get jail time for the driver and the fact the hit-and-run driver was represented by one of our elected state representatives. That would get my goat too, I didn't ask details but she said she filed ethics violations.

It was really nice to see so many come out and show support. It was a very friendly group and stuck around after the ride to talk. I got a real sense of a close community. I even made a new friend on the ride.

Kenniss was telling me that she is out walking more and how bad the drivers are. I hear you on that one, we really need to get Maryland out of the top 10 pedestrian fatality ranking..
