A Special Place in Hell Vol. 3 – Carjacking an 85-year-old on the way to Church


View Larger Map

From the Brookland Listserv:

On Friday morning at 7:45 two young guys parked on the 1900 block of Shepherd Street [NE] in a car described as “orange/gold.” My lovely 85-year-old neighbor was scraping the frost of the windshield of her car, getting ready to pick up her passengers and go to early church as she does every weekday. One of the guys got out of the car and headed toward her, reached into her car and took her purse. As she was distracted by him and trying to get her purse back, the guy knocked her down and got back into the gold car while the other guy jumped into her car and drove off.

My understanding is that the police woman who responded to the call knows of the gold car and of this crew of young guys–identified as late teens.

Please be on the lookout for an orange/gold car with young guys in it. Many things are disturbing about this incident, not the least of which is that it happened so early in the morning.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
