Wreath of the Day – Downton Abbey

Co-President and this year, Captain of Deliveries Maureen O’Hara, shared a hilarious analysis of our Wreath Week activities. “We are a little like Downton Abbey at Wreath Week. We have standards and traditions, Upstairs and Downstairs. Past President and Wreath Co-Chair Catherine Bordon was a combination of Mr. Carson and Mary Crawley with her forward thinking (she threw out the printed delivery maps now that GPS is ubiquitous), reflecting changing times. She combines institutional knowledge with her computer skills and steel trap mind. There were a few Mrs. Hughes downstairs, putting out fires and guiding the “estate” in the right direction.” Maureen herself was amazing, acting as Tom Branson, the Downton chauffeur, driving a wreath to Brookline (out of our delivery radius) when the recipient was hesitant to drive into the City.
