Dear Editor,
I just read your article regarding the hanging of the baskets. They are such a special touch to the ambiance of Greenwich Ave and the Post Road, but one person that was not included in the article was Mary Hull. She was the director of Green & Clean for many years, and worked tirelessly in all efforts to beautify Greenwich. She always had a car load of clippers, gloves, and buckets.
The Japanese ladies were surely a big part of the basket arranging, but my dad also enjoyed working with the baskets. As a naval officer, he made many trips to Japan, so he fit right in with the ladies. Even after he had his stroke, Mary encouraged Daddy to continue with the effort, as she knew how important it was to his well being.
Mary worked her buns off for everything green, and in this effort, I am most grateful.
Suzy Simpson
