These young kids did their kind deed for the day. The elderly woman, 89, was so frail and could barely stand up, so they patiently assisted her into the car.
Whether her 100-year-old husband has the range of motion and flexibility needed to safely drive and control that vehicle is another story. Yikes.
Carnegie said she has been contacted by the couple's grandson, Tommy Griest, who saw the video of his grandparents. "He was extremely grateful, extremely thankful. He said his grandfather retired from the Air Force. That explains why he's 100 years old and still driving. You can't stop somebody I like that, ever."
The hell you can't. My grandfather was a Maj. Gen. in the Air Force. Flew during WWII and helped liberate part of France. But you'd better believe that as soon as we felt it was unsafe for him to drive, we took the keys away.
Maybe all the positive feedback will contribute to a potentially bright future for them all, as the deputy said the guys didn't have the best of histories...

Isn't there DMV involvement with issuing d/l to elderly. My mother, 84, had to renew her license every 6 months. She drove and completed the written test. Had her license revoked recently.
In another 16 years I will be 100. I wonder if I will still be able to drive.
We hope so.
With that eventuality in mind, do you have a place to move to if you lose your ability to drive? ....... It's something all us oldsters should address.
I'm only 73, and I still enjoy hot rodding (gently) on the streets. I'm telling ya - my old GMC surprises some people.
To the original subject: the vast majority of disadvantaged people have a great deal of respect for those who are also disadvantaged.
