If this item could only talk it would tell so many stories of Mary's Glorious Life.  in Palm Beach, she had been a member of the Everglade Club, the Bath and Tennis Club and the Sailfish Club. She was also a member of the Chicago Yacht Club and Bahamas Air Sea Rescue Association (BASRA) in Nassau, Bahamas.
She bought a 98-foot Feadship yacht in 1975 and christened it "Hartline" in memory of her father.  The yacht was used for trips to the Bahamas until she donated it to Greenpeace.
She took up tennis at age 37 and committed herself to it, practicing six hours a day. She won over 30 tournaments, and once played with U.S. Vice President Spiro Agnew at his invitation.
Not only was Mrs. Donahue comfortable in the presence of heads of state, Hollywood elite, and British royalty, she was just as gracious in her hometown among family and friends.
