Mrs. Hodge is the oldest contributing writer to the Winston-Salem Chronicle at age 100, submitting articles on being a former resident of “Reynolds Town” and a humorous peak into African-American culture entitled “Rag Baby.”
To help her celebrate were residents, family members, a former student with his family, and her pastor, Dr. Paul Lowe.

The Chronicle extends warm wishes to Mrs. Hodge on reaching this significant milestone.
