A heartwarming story: a man walked into the First Lutheran Church courtyard during wreath week, in some confusion. He thought he had come to The Perkins School for the Blind, and apparently had been dropped off, but instead of being on N. Beacon Street in Watertown, he was on Berkeley Street in Boston. It was night, it was cold, and he clearly needed help. Garden Club member Maureen O’Hara, assisting with deliveries, decided to spring into action and after figuring out what must have happened, got on her phone, summoned an Uber, put the man into the car and got him to his destination safely. We all hope to find such a good person in our lives, at moments of calamity. Thank you, Maureen. The wreath below mirrors the beauty of your actions.
