Claudia is a very nice person in West Roxbury who likes Thai food

Patrice Taddonio reports she was at Thai Spice on Centre Street yesterday evening to pick up her takeout order when she realized she'd left her wallet 45 minutes away in Everett.

A stranger overhead me making a phone call and trying to figure out what to do - and she insisted on paying for my dinner. "It's my good deed for the day, from one stranger to another," she said, smiling. She wouldn't let me write her a check, or take down her info to pay her back. All I know is that her name was Claudia, and that I will never forget her kindness.
