If every member has the form  /ou=Boston/cn=Recipients/cn=thodes then you could do something like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
while (<DATA>)
{
 chomp;
 my $separator = qr{(?:%?/ou=)|/cn=};
 my @fields = split( $separator, $_ );
 shift(@fields); # remove empty first field
 while (my ($city, $recip, $name) = splice(@fields, 0, 3))
 {
  die "bad $recip format\n" if $recip ne 'Recipients';
  print "city: $city name: $name\n";
 }
}
