And there’s this charming anecdote: When the Benson Hotel accidentally double-booked none other than then-vice president Al Gore and NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal into the same suite in 2000, they called Foren. Within the hour, she delivered to each of the two powerhouses 15 bouquets of orchids and roses, saving our city’s good name in the process.
