Royalty Comes to Boston

Mayor Menino welcomes (LtoR) President of Valencia,Prince Faisal of Saudi Arabia, King Olav of Sweden

On Friday May 8, 2009 I had the unique privilege to be a guest at Mayor Menino’s reception for several foreign dignitaries passing through Boston for the Volvo Ocean Races.  Since I was a small child, I never thought I would be in the meat and food distribution business.  Instead, I always wanted to be an Ambassador… to anywhere.  There I was among the venerable Mayor Thomas Menino and his wife Angela.  But the evening was all about meeting the King of Sweden, Prince Faisal of Saudi Arabia and the President of Valencia.   As a Bostonian I was thrilled to be able to be part of such an exclusive celebration showcasing our beautiful city, and even more pleased to see our customer, Gourmet Caterers, catering the food for this fabulous event.
