Mary Caprelian has helped run the BNP Paribas open media center for 32 years. It’s Mary’s warmth and devotion that makes all the media feel welcome. She is the beautiful lady that looks after all the photographers and reporters. She makes sure everyones needs are met. We applaud Mary in all of her efforts. The famous vest has pins on it from around the world that press has been bringing her. I think Mary has given up wearing it.( it weighs a ton ) But she has the vest on a hangar behind her desk.
