As he lies in state on Sunday, Mayor Menino will be accompanied by an honor guard of former staff members. Shifts have been grouped thematically and include those representing causes of particular importance to Mayor Menino, community leaders, and others who worked tirelessly for him behind the scenes.
Symbolically, the overnight shift will be comprised of members of Mayor Menino’s Office of Neighborhood Services (ONS). While others were finished working for the day, Mayor Menino’s ONS staff responded to fires in the middle of the night, delivered toys to children through the holiday season, and attended to the nitty gritty of neighborhood life that was so important to the Mayor.
The honor guard will be with Mayor Menino until he departs Faneuil Hall on Monday morning. A full schedule is below.
