Hello everyone, I hope everything is well with you. I have been a little under the weather but I am “Rambling Rose,” so I have to keep going. I spent a day and a night in St. Agnes Emergency Room. They gave me medication to keep the stomach spasms to a minimum until I am able to see my gastroenterologist (you know the stomach specialist) next week for a procedure to let me know what in the hell is going on with my stomach. Now friends don’t worry, I believe whatever they find during the procedure they will be able to fix it. All the bad, bad, bad stuff has already been ruled out, such as cancer, tumor, ulcer, and most of all pregnancy!
Okay, enough about me— prayers and faith will get me through this with my husband “Shorty” as a back-up!

Charles W. “Hoppy” Adams, Jr. was a very popular distinguished radio personality and executive vice president with radio station WANN in Annapolis for over 40 years.

We became good friends and business partners. He was more than a radio personality, he was an active community activist and a behind the scenes, philanthropist. Thanks to his son “Hoppy Adams III,” (his namesake) had a vision Along with his partners, Gordenia Henson, Ciara Anguay and Monique Fisher, they continued his father’s legacy by forming the foundation to help children’s education; programs to promote and provide mentoring and counseling services to youth and adults; and facilitate sports and recreational activities for youth and adults.
