PUBLISHER’S LETTER

Clockwise from bottom left: George “Pete” Bostwick, Jr.; Minister of Silly Walks, John Cleese; Elsa Maxwell and friends at Gilbert and Kitty Miller’s New Year’s Eve party in 1952; Team Quest at Mashomack International Polo Challenge;

ON AN UNUSUALLY blustery Saturday in July, Quest’s corinthian polo team reached the finals of Mashomack’s acclaimed International Polo Championship, but were ultimately defeated in a close match to a more experienced Ecuadorian team. This gloomy day of near victory aside, the Summer has been deservedly glorious (and “well-attended”!) up and down the entire Eastern Seaboard. I’m told the same is true in the still swank, yet boat-choked and crowded Mediterranean. But hey - we’ve been anxiously yearning to finally get back out there and “mingle”. So what if it’s brimming with an overabundance of “us”? This is our turf and these peeps are our pals, whom we haven’t fully embraced for three socially distanced summers-—Dr. Fauci’s spurious spouting to the contrary. August at Quest brings our annual 400 List, first born during the Gilded Age from the mindset of Ward McAllister, Mrs. Caroline Astor’s stratifying publicity hound. Our 27-year-old version is less contrived, and more rooted in philanthropy than celebrity. And in truth, it was a space-filling “eureka!” moment for our esteemed Editor-in-Chief, David Patrick Columbia (“DPC” to all) who was desperate for last minute copy to fill his column. Progressive tongues may wag at such exclusive lists in today’s far too woke world, but we believe there’s still a place to recognize and celebrate the traditions of civility, appropriate behavior and proper manners; we hope, dear readers, that you concur. Now, once you’ve weaned your noses out of this year’s slimmed down 400 List, don’t miss our vintage photo album of legendary parties facing this roster of generous swells. From Truman Capote’s renowned Black & White Ball ... to Mike Todd’s epic bash at Madison Square Garden (replete with a functioning yacht, hot air balloon, flying bi-plane and two full orchestras!!) ... to Elsa Maxwell’s fabled April in Paris Ball, staged in The Waldorf’s grand ballroom where JFK actually put a peck on Jackie’s blushing cheek. Next, redirect your vision to our profile of Gil Walsh, a well versed designer who’s ineffable approach reflects her clients’ lifestyles, as well as her own understated elegance. On a more somber note, we bid farewell to one of our world’s finest sportsmen, George “Pete” Bostwick, Jr., a gifted

and genuine gent whose athletic prowess collected championship silver in six different sports over six distinguished decades. Quest’s insightful scrivener, “Audax” (aka: Jamie MacGuire) has penned a lovely remembrance in our Snapshot column, recognizing Pete’s unprecedented accomplishments and his signature dedication to fair play in all competitions. I close with a supportive salute to one of this generation’s more clever comedians, John “Basil Fawlty” Cleese. A Cambridge honors graduate who with his Monte Python classmates nearly solved “The Meaning of Life”, Cleese was recently performing in Texas when the Cancel Culture posse turned off the on-stage microphones—in protest of his satiric remarks about England “being owed reparations from the French for colonizing the whole of Britain—after the Norman Invasion of 1066.” It was a pure Pythonian spoof, suggesting that we’re now losing our birthright to humor, in addition to our heritage and heroes. Perhaps we’ve reached a new low ebb of compulsive wokeness that only the Fall elections can solve. Stay tuned, dear readers; and remember to vote early ... and often. ◆

NEW YORK SOCIAL DIARY WE STARTED THIS 400 List more than three decades ago. It was inspired by the now ancient Mrs. Astor’s 400. If Mrs. Astor never did much, she made (or had) a List of how many could fit in her large ballroom in her brownstone mansion (for many years on the southwest corner of 34th Street and Fifth Avenue, where the Empire State stands today). The mystique

of the List was its implication: Revolution and the birth of the nation. If you’re not on it, America was you don’t belong. progressing and Mrs. Astor also Lina Astor in her had the good forbrownstone mantune of acquiring sion was evidence. an excellent press Her List became agent. From there, famous as part New York Society of a common exwas born. It was an Mrs. Caroline Astor pression referring important moment in our young country. It was to the richer folk in many a the height of the Industrial town across the land. Basical-

ly abandoned by her very rich husband, she got her show on the road without him. The List was the evidence of her power. She became celebrated in the seven or eight daily New York papers. So back then in the early 1990s, in the Quest office on a rainy overcast day with nothing in the imagination bin, I thought of Mrs. Astor and her List. It’s natural source were

other media columns about the rich and famous and their kind. The intent was to get the attention of you, dear reader. Although “Society” has always been the territory of (ambitious) women, the men played several different, important roles if they were committed to the social aspect. A century ago, for example, and right on to the end of the 20th century, it was a source of business and income for those men playing the role of socialite. This article was inspired by two men of the 20th century who played those roles to great success, financially and otherwise. In their heyday, to the outsider they appeared to be men who lolled around all day, leisurely and finished off the night at some swanky dinner party and always being a welcome participant on the 28 QUEST

The morning before the performance we saw, the British papers were blaring the story about Clinton and Monica. After the play we went to dinner at Mark’s, the very chic, very exclusive (hip rich/Euro, as these things go), and intimate Birley (small dining rooms—eight tables, deep red flock walls, plush red velvet banquettes) private club belonging to Mark Birley in an old London townhouse. Among the diners that night were Linda Wachner, the then but now deposed Warna-

co tycooness, Prince Pavlos of Greece, and at the table next to ours, the Baron Alexis de Rede, who had also come from the same theater as we. The baron is the perfect blend of Proust, Balzac and the modern age. He is one of the great social figures of Paris, and indeed, all of Europe. I first noticed him taking his seat in the theater that night just before curtain. He is one of those people who looks like he’s somebody famous. A man, probably in his 70s, he has a swarthiness from what looked like a fading tan; jowlish, with heavy-lidded drooping eyes, a high forehead with a full head of dark brown hair brushed back and a cashmere overcoat casually slung like a cape over his just slightly stooped shoulders. He seemed to lead the way through his row, like an unfazed and lacon-

Jews possessing titles are not unheard of in European history, although many, especially the English (who have titled Jews as well) are often skeptical of their legitimacy. The Austrian Emperor believed that Jews of prominence and achievement deserved the title as much as their non-Jewish counterparts.

mate at Le Rosey informed Alexis that he could no longer speak to him because he was a Jew. Alexis’ Protestant upbringing could bring nothing to bear on the private pleasure of bigotry that infects so many of us. Perhaps it was the early loss of his mother, or the staunch ally of youth, but all evidence points to the fact that the boy was naturally clever with a determined consciousness of what he liked and what he dreamed of. He also had the presence of mind to forsake the dangerous situation looming in Europe at the end of the 1930s. With his tiny monthly stipend of about $200 (or about 10 times that in today’s currency), he booked passage on an oceanliner and headed for America to seek his fortune.

Circumstances already hinted at what turned out to be a given: he was homosexual and drawn to men who were older. He was also a striver: in Los Angeles, he soon learned that a European accent gave him a mystique. It implied sophistication and intellect, as well as an attitude about sex far more “live and let live” than the puritanical American code. He befriended among others, Elsie de Wolfe, Lady Mendl, and Salvador Dali, the surrealist. Life in Los Angeles was nevertheless insufficient for the willowy, good-looking well-

Jimmy Donohue, as famously willful as he was rich, soon persuaded Pawson to dump Lopez-Wilshaw and move to New York where he’d really show the Englishman a life of luxury and good times. When Pawson departed for New York, his patron, Sr. Lopez-Wilshaw was unaware of his long term future plans. It wasn’t until he was visiting Pawson in New York that he learned the truth: Jimmy Donohue had stolen his boy.

Marie-Helene de Rothschild became ill in the 1980s with cancer, severely curtailing the glittering social life of her friend the baron, who devotedly sat vigil through her darkest hours. Although after her death he seemed to some a lonely figure, and indeed, he appeared so to these unknowing eyes that night in London seven years ago, he continued his active social life and entertaining, if indeed on a quieter, less

populated scale. Princess Michael of Kent recalled him visiting London in July 2000 for her son Frederick Windsor’s 21st birthday: “The dress code of ‘Fete Champetre’—I was copying the Louis XIV scheme of entertaining the court in the month of June before Versailles was finished, when he gave wonderful outdoor parties in green, leafy bowers. “Perhaps Alexis, who was a great one for dressing up and had given some of the best fancy dress parties of my life, was feeling shy or unsure about the English, but he came wearing a magnificent turban and brooch and a dazzling cloak, which he clutched the entire night at his neck.

He was so afraid to be seen in a dinner jacket when every other man was in 18th-century costume.” Princess Michael also recalled that “When we went to theatre, he would always take a box on the side, and in later years, often fall asleep. When the curtain came down, he would recall the whole play, yet would never admit to having seen it already—or read it. I never could find out how he did it.” By this time, the baron had been having pulmonary problems for which he had been hospitalized. Beginning to feel better he traveled to the south of France to visit his

A Long and Fascinating Life on this side of the Atlantic… John Galliher died here in New York “peacefully in his sleep” on December 21, 2002—according to his death notice in the New York Times. He was 88. He was a most unusual person; the likes of

which I’d never met before. Although no stranger to the world known as “Society” in the 20th century, he was the kind of character you’d read about in a novel but never the type you’d ever hope or think to meet. In his world he was an “extra” man, a man of leisure, what some today would refer to—thoroughly inadequately—as a “walker.” I met him in the 1980s at a dinner in Los Angeles at the house of Billy McCarty-Cooper. Our mutual friend, Luis Estevez, had told me beforehand that I was going to meet “the chic-est man” I’d ever known. What did that mean? I can see women as chic, but not so much in the case of men. In person, he was a sophisticated, worldly looking man, of a certain later (early 70s back

then), well-groomed, welldressed although not remarkably, and otherwise courteous, friendly and congenial. We became friends after that dinner, and when I moved back to New York, he’d occasionally invite me to a small luncheon or dinner he’d have at his apartment on East 69th Street (and later on 63rd) when he’d gather six or eight friends for a simple meal (cooked himself) and a lot of talk, often amusing. Although he was never a gossip and always discreet. I soon learned that he’d led a very cosmopolitan life since his early 20s in the 1940s in London, Paris, New York and early on in Beverly Hills. He’d met and known the rich and the famous of the world of that era—now many histori-

cal names; and he seemed to have made his way not in any profession, but in the business of being a “good man to have around.” He was a man who was born into, grew up and lived comfortably among those privileged classes—and carved out an interesting life out of it for himself. It was a world of formality: rules, etiquette and pleasure. Anything goes but watch yourself. To its real connoisseurs, it was a talent, which John Galliher possessed. He wasn’t known to have a profession. I’d heard he had a serious affair with Elsa Schiaparelli, and had lived with Diana Barrymore, and over time, he’d had a couple of close associations (boyfriends in today’s parlance) and was well provided for at the time,

Any time of year is the perfect time to freshen up your living room by introducing a new mix of throw pillows. They are the ultimate accessory, enhancing any piece of furniture and adding personality to your space. Countless colors, patterns, and textures provide unlimited combinations for that final layer of style and comfort. Here are a few of our top designer tips. As a general rule, an odd number of pillows is the most inviting arrangement. Pairing pillows of various sizes and shapes draws attention to the uniqueness and charm of each pillow. Typically use three pillows for loveseats, five for larger sofas, and nine for sectionals. When choosing the colors of your pillows, look at the surrounding hues of the room. Take inspiration from the area rug, wall color, and sofa upholstery. Choose up to three of those colors to create a cohesive look in your pillow combination. Don’t be afraid to mix and match prints in these colors to add your own unique twist! For neutral rooms, you can opt to use multihued neutral pillows in the same color or smallscale patterns to add visual flair and dimension. Or add a pop of color to the room with solid color and patterned pillows. If bold patterns or colors aren’t your thing, go for texture. Leather pillows add warmth to the space, while faux-fur pillows add a modern touch. Now that you know how to create a pillow combination that will impress your guests, all that’s left is to have fun shopping! -GW Interiors @gilwalshinteriors 00 4 8 QUEST 4

After dinner, the chairs and tables would be moved away, a hundred more guests would arrive, the band would play and the night would begin. Garbo attended.

In the following years, his life took on the pattern of early jetsetters, traveling frequently between Paris, London and New York, with trips to the resorts, to yachts on the Mediterranean, to Mexico, to Jamaica. At one point, he kept the apartment in Paris, a house in London and an apartment in New York. He worked for a time with Hubert de Givenchy at the beginning of his design career. Givenchy did not speak English and John spoke French beautifully. With his linguistic and social

talents he served as a “liaison” for the rising designer. By his forties, a man of the world, a man about town, to be found at the best places, on the best yachts, present at all the famous parties that seemed even more fabulous after the regeneration of Europe from the ashes of war. He recalled that the celebrated de Bestigui party in Venice in the 1950s is legendary only because of “the spectacular entrance of the costumes that made the party.” He was a mystery to most, all his life and even with those who’d know him for decades. He wasn’t so much secretive as he was inclined to be discreet in a way that is almost unknown in today’s world. He was always a “gent” in his attitude and bearing toward others, always unfailingly courteous and kindly. This rare qual52 QUEST

ity is even rarer in the circles John traveled in most of the time. And because he lived such a long life, he had seen many rise from often humble beginnings right up to the royal tastes they acquired along with the fortunes they accumulated or married into. He’d also seen many fall from grace and, with his incisive sensitivity, he often sympathized. He did not divulge or break Bobby confidences, and he had many to keep. One might learn how he felt about someone or something only by observing his reaction carefully, if he were to laugh, or lower his chin and turn his face away with a wave of the hand—a very characteristic action.

He was also not one to reveal or express judgment about the private behavior of others. All of that was very “tiresome” and “disagreeable” to him. On the other hand, there was a moment in his Paris days right after the War, when, for reasons of “security” he shared with his superiors his knowledge of an affair the wife of a very important American general was havShort ing with a high ranking married Frenchman. After 15 years of living in Paris, he bought a house in London in Chester Square in the 1960s. In the following years, he bought and re-did several houses, making a tidy sum from the business. It was also known that he was

not a wealthy man, or from a wealthy family, and that he had no apparent employment. This only added to his mystery. While the haute monde and the demimondaine were always in proximity in John Galliher’s world, there were also the worlds of the arts, of the theatre and show business (he loved music and was a very close friend of Lena Horne and Bobby Short, to name only two among many). In the 1980s, he sold his properties in London and consolidated his life to a small but pleasantly appointed apartment on East 69th Street off Madison Avenue. Until his premature death of AIDS in 1991, He often visited his friend Billy McCartyCooper in California. He traveled frequently to visit

In later years he made annual trips to see his friend Sybilla Clark in Lyford Cay, or Pat and William Buckley in Gstaad, Beatrix Patino on the Algarve. He’d travel to London two or three times a year to see his friends and to see his tailor, and less occasionally on to Paris to see old friends. Although no one thought of him as a rich man, he was well known to be rich in friends, some of whom bestowed their riches on him. When Billy McCarty-Cooper knew he was dying he settled an annuity of $50,000 a year on John for the rest of his life, in thanks for John’s generous friendship at the begin-

ning of McCarty’s adult life. In New York, as the years accumulated, he remained the ideal extra man. He kept up with the times, always aware of changing tastes, cognizant of the changing crowds and attitudes. He did not suffer fools gladly and did not accommodate rudeness, avoiding both whenever possible, and when not, he removed himself as quickly as possible. Like a lot of people who grow older successfully, he was always interested in the company and the fashions of younger people; so much so that he was never at loss for the company of new people who wanted to be with him, for he continued to fascinate in the

same way he had all his life. He loved cards. It was at the card table that a different side of Johnny Galliher came out. For this man who’d made an art of living a life unfettered by temperament, he hated to lose. Though the games were most often played for money, a penny a point, a dollar a point, and it was never a question of stakes, he simply hated losing. And he could get very angry, openly at his partner if he thought they’d played an especially bad hand. His temper at losing was so out of character that friends easily sloughed it off with a laugh, albeit always remaining cowed by it. In his last few years, he was often seen around New York

attending theatre, movies, opera, ballet. Three times a week he walked the 30 or so blocks from his apartment on East 63rd Street (acquired in the mid 1990s) to the pool in the Asphalt Green on York and 92nd Street, and have an hour’s swim, and then walk back home. Although age had come to John Galliher, the levity of youth remained his. So it came as a surprise to those who knew him, to learn that just before the Christmas holiday, he had been gravely ill. Many were surprised to learn that he left an estate of more than $2 million. It was a long life and he made the most of it with nary a complaint, happily, quietly, and discreetly enjoying it all. ◆

IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY JULY 14, 2022... the day the unbelievable, unsuspected, shocking news that Ivana was dead hit everyone who had ever known her, and everyone who had ever just read about her, like a thunderbolt. One name sufficed to identify the Czech beauty and accomplished skier who was married to Donald Trump from 1977 to 1992. There are a myriad of tributes to her everywhere—mostly positive… a few not quite—but I remember her vivaciousness, the spontaneous laugh, and our jokes about each other’s accents (mine a mix of Glaswegian + New York taxi driver… hers, distinctly her own). Ivana always looked me straight in the face when she spoke, which to me showed the best of manners, but more likely it was to make certain I could understand her. Over the years I have photographed Ivana many times. Always outgoing, confident, charming, exuberant, full of life. I could go on… The last time we ran into each other was while her former husband was still in office—each of us having dinner at separate tables at Cipriani in the Sherry-Netherland. As Gigi and I were leaving, Ivana motioned me over and whispered in my ear, “S**t happens.” We both laughed, knowing that she was right on the mark. u 86 QUEST

BACK IN BLIGHTY

From left: Sir Tom Stoppard and Sabrina

AS SPEAKER AT a posh dinner given by Jonathan and Jake Goedhuis, the best U.K. wine merchants by far, and attended by many swells including Anthony Mangnall MP, I somehow managed to finish the speech despite having tasted some very good wines beforehand. I nevertheless got lots of mileage from the fact that we Greeks were responsible for inventing the strike—Lysistrata—an act the British unions later on perfected. Ancient Greek women refused to have sex until the men stopped fighting, and the ancient Greek philosopher Taki opined that “F—ing is better than fighting,” thus the first strike 88 QUEST

ever was successful. Ditto homosexuality, I announced: “We Greeks invented it, you Brits perfected it.” It’s fun to be back in London if only for the prevailing sense of humor. Had I said something similar in America, lots of bores and prudes would have taken umbrage and walked out. Two days before the greatest speech since that of Marc Anthony, I attended a wonderful lunch chez les Bismarcks, full of young people who promised me lots of addresses of young women but produced absolutely nothing. Sabrina Stoppard— Sir Tom’s bride, whom I hadn’t seen

in years—and I reminisced about our respective youths. Hers was healthier than mine. But memory is known to play tricks, and mine ain’t what it used to be. I told Sabrina how I first met the great playwright. I was walking with a pretty girl after a party and looking for a cab. A jalopy stopped and a curly-haired gent asked if we needed a ride. I recognized Tom immediately and accepted. I asked him if he’d like to join us for dinner. “I have to babysit,” said the great man. That was some forty years ago. Continuing my tale to his wife was when I got my plays wrong. I was boxing for a Catholic charity

Arki (Lover Boy) Busson was there, and watched me lose a split decision against a semipro. (And Sir Tom can check the year and his bank balance.) As luck would have it, the next day after the Bismarck lunch there was another one, given by Dave Ker in his

Charles Atlas figure that had us all feeling rather envious. He claims he lost the weight through nonstop sex. If true, Arki Busson would look like a concentration camp survivor. Then came the denouement of a great week with the Troubadour concert of the first duke of Bunter but 12th duke of Beaufort. I arrived under the weather and my worried driver was hesitant to drop me until Johnson Somerset, the star attraction’s brother, escorted me inside. Harry Beaufort is the Joe Cocker of the

almost frog-marched down five floors and out of the store. When he demanded to know the reason for this outrage, he was told that he was inappropriately dressed for Harrods. This in a store filled with horrors in shorts and others whose description might be interpreted as racist on my part. What I suspect is that the two bullies were showing off and picked on an easy target, an English gent who was not about to put up a fight. What I find incredible is that an English lord is

St. James’s club. James Marlborough, Bolle Bismarck, Lover Boy, and Charles Churchill’s son were the guests, and our host had strategically placed Arki under the critical eye of the Duke of Wellington, under whose portrait we lunched away. After a couple of bottles of wine I could swear the old Duke was getting angrier and angrier. Arki sat there like a Buddha taking it all in. I have a pretty good idea why the old boy was getting pissed off, but being as discreet as I am, I will keep it to myself. The lunch was gossipy and fun. Dave Ker used to be roly-poly, but in a postprandial pose he showed us his new

upper classes, and while the girls swooned, I even had a quick history lesson with his historian sister Anne. And now I want to touch upon something that I find truly shocking, what took place at Harrods with the aforementioned Lord John Somerset. I have known him forever, as they say, and I am godfather to his daughter Romi, and have never throughout the years ever seen him misbehave in the slightest. Last week, while shopping at Harrods and dressed in jeans and a light-colored jacket, he was waiting to pay for a 500-pound speaker—he works in music—when he was approached by two store heavies and

targeted and publicly embarrassed for absolutely no reason except that he’s white, a gentleman, and someone not about to raise a fuss. If that’s not reverse racism I don’t know what is. My advice to Johnson was to hire a shark lawyer and sue the hell out of Harrods. He declined because people like him don’t sue. But the place better apologize and be quick about it. In the meantime, all of you white Brits out there better be careful. London is becoming like the Bagel, a haven for the wrong types. u For more Taki, visit takimag.com. AUGUST 2022 89

A dining room designed by Gil Walsh. Opposite page: Gil Walsh in her showroom in West Palm Beach.

AS A LIFELONG student of classic design and a well-known interior designer, Gil Walsh is passionate about her work. Known for her extraordinary eye for color and texture, Gil is a master of expressing her clients’ personal styles through their homes. From private residences, yachts, and country clubs to corporate headquarters and elegant resort hotels, Gil and her team have brought a unique sense of place to distinguished interiors from coast to coast. Gil’s interior design experience stems from her earlier

education in fashion design. While attending Chatham University in Pittsburgh, she designed all the sets and costumes for an avantgarde production of a play written by Pablo Picasso. Creating the sets struck a passionate chord within her, and she sought out the next steps to begin her career in interior design. It was a three-dimensional world that combined her love of fashion, art, and architecture. Gil landed her first job with Irvin & Company in Cleveland, the largest interior design firm between Chicago and New York. AUGUST 2022 95

She was commissioned for her first big design project, as well as working on Arnold Palmer’s private home, and his pavilion at the Laurel Valley Country Club. Over time, Gil’s portfolio of work went from being good to being great. Her biggest honor was being selected to work alongside Edgar Kaufmann, Jr. in 1983 to replicate the design interiors for Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece, Fallingwater. Today, she is an active member of the Advisory Committee of Fallingwater. In 2007, Gil made the bold decision to strike out on her own. Her company has successfully evolved into a substantial design firm, noted not only for exquisitely detailed work but also the extraordinary diversity of its projects.

LA CRÉM REOPENS IN BEDFORD

NESTLED IN A 1750s white clapboard farmhouse in Bedford, the iconic La Crémaillère restaurant has been beloved for its French country inspired fine dining for more than 70 years. A stone’s throw from Greenwich, the establishment, which opened in 1948, has been a favorite among diners throughout Westchester and Fairfield County, who visit for its romantic ambiance, fresh produce, and high-quality drinks, earning the restaurant numerous accolades in the food and beverage industry. After shuttering during the pandemic, the hot spot recently reopened after being acquired by businessman and polo player Peter Orthwein, who now co-owns it with the Boies family. “I’ve been dining at La Crémaillère since the early ’80s, and when the opportunity came to save the restaurant from permanently closing, my partner and I jumped at the chance,” said Orthwein. Known as “La Crém” to its regulars, the rustic establishment has a charming and cozy candlelit dining room with hand-painted murals of French countrymen, a leather-clad bar, tabletop linens, and a wood-burning fireplace. Orthwein appointed Chef Thomas Burke to the helm, who is taking a modern approach to traditional French-inspired cuisine, highlighted

by its seasonal and local ingredients, and paired with an exclusive Reserve wine list. “Our goal is to celebrate our classic reputation but introduce a modern twist with the updated menu,” said Burke. “Our guests can expect dishes such as smoked salmon rillette; braised veal cheek with herb and ricotta gnocchi; Dover sole a la meunière in a caper-brown butter emulsion; Long Island duck breast à l’orange; and Niman Ranch Prime filet mignon but with the option of the most perfect wine in the world to highlight each bite. Along with our service, this feature makes dinner at La Crémaillère a one-of-a-kind experience.” In addition to the menu updates, an outdoor deck for dining and a garden are being installed on the property. Unlike the prepandemic La Crém, jackets are no longer required, but proper attire is recommended. “Our team inherited a long list of regular clientele, so it’s our responsibility to make sure their expectations are still being met while attracting a new generation of customers and appealing to their needs. In addition to an improved gastronomical experience, we’re working on ways to leverage our whimsical interiors and spacious land to create a concept that diners will only enjoy at our restaurant,” said Burke. La Crém is currently upgrading its kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances and equipment such as a new Paco Jet, which will allow them to make all ice creams and sorbets in-house. The new and improved restaurant will reopen in late August following the renovation and will operate Wednesdays through Saturdays for dinner, and Sundays for brunch. It recently partnered with Greenwich Polo Club to offer a special three-course prix fixe “Polo Brunch” menu for $65, which can be enjoyed every Sunday through late September. It’s a must-visit institution for a special occasion dinner, or simply for a “Polo Burger” before a 3 p.m. match. The restaurant is gearing up for a busy fall season, when guests can spend chilly nights dining around the fireplace while enjoying a beautiful Autumn menu featuring seasonal ingredients such as local apples, pumpkins, and grains, and hearty dishes such as Braised Veal Cheek with Maitake Mushroom. u MARCH 2015 00

AREN’T YOU MAD YOU HAVE NOT BEEN?

YES, I AM ON the Board of Trustees. Yes, I am the Co-Chair of the MAD Luminaries. And yes, I am the best person to tell you all about the Museum of Arts and Design. The museum is located on Columbus Circle, one of the main arteries of Manhattan, connecting East to West, and you must be MAD if you have been missing out. “Since its founding more than 65 years ago, MAD has consistently widened the scope of New York City’s cultural institutions to include creators quite different from those ordinarily seen in a museum. MAD builds on its history of highlighting creators who are redefining what art can do and be, and challenging preconceptions of what makes an object ‘museum-worthy’,” says Tim Rodgers, Nanette L. Laitman Director. This is what has always drawn me to MAD. It’s a unique hands-on approach to connecting with patrons and artists alike, giving the museum a living and breathing quality. It’s the only museum in Manhattan that, on any given day, you can go into it and see art and craft being made live. This is enabled through the Artists in residence program which launched in 2008 and has welcomed dozens of creatives working across various mediums through its doors. Those who have been through the program have gone on to exhibit their work at other prominent museums in Manhattan and beyond. “The Museum of Arts and Design always has been a home for artists who have reimagined and radically subverted traditional craft techniques in search of more authentic self-expression,” says Elissa Auther, Deputy Director of Curatorial Affairs and William and Mildred Lasdon Chief Curator, Museum of Arts and Design. During her tenure with the museum, Auther has shaped the new vibrancy that is seen in its exhibitions. Currently,

patrons can be transported to another planet through vibrant alieninspired furniture in Chris Schanck: Off-World, or be dazzled by the first of its kind Flower Craft, which invited six world renowned floral artists to take over the museum for a week with their own breathtaking floral show. Auther is at the helm of all that makes MAD so unique. This fall, MAD will mount Queer Maximalism x Machine Dazzle, the first solo exhibition dedicated to the genre-defying artist Matthew Flower, better known as Machine Dazzle. Auther notes, “In his quest to further queer design, Machine Dazzle demonstrates how costumes have worldmaking capacity, why unorthodox materials have become the preferred way for those outside of majority culture to describe themselves, and the ways in which excess can both transform and transfigure.” And Machine Dazzle is not the only show on MAD’s horizon, with FUNK YOU TOO!, a west coast funk ceramic show, and new exhibitions by the world renowned Judy Chicago also soon to be revealed. This vision and creativity are why I love MAD. I have never been seen or treated as anything but an equal and MAD has allowed me to develop our young patrons program, the Luminaries, to connect our members with both the museum and the community at large. When the pandemic raged, we brought weekly discussions with over 50 artists though our Luminaires Live, which has connected us with artists of the moment including Shantell Martin, Simon Haas, and Niki Haas by bringing them onto our leadership committee, creating onsite and offsite activations with them, and curating a robust Annual Pride Program. It’s rare that an institution invests so much in its future and provides so much leeway to plan it, but this is the kind of place MAD is. Board of Trustee member Barbra Tober put it best, “This is definitely the time that craftsmanship and the joy of making things are totally in fashion… MAD is fascinating audiences with wildly creative and fun objects and costumes for every taste and age. It is a revelation to witness the excitement among the makers and in all of us.” u 10004QQUUE ES ST T

MARKET WATCH BY BROOKE MURRAY

DANA KOCH Corcoran Group / 561.379.7718 /dana.koch@corcoran.com

Q: How is the market doing? A: The market has returned to its normal seasonality pace this summer compared to the last 2+ years. We are still dealing with a lack of inventory, which will continue to propel this market. Unfortunately, we are not immune to some of the headwinds (equity market volatility, interest rate hikes, inflation) that everyone is contending with these days, but we are still in a supply and demand world where pricing has held steady. Q: What advice can you offer buyers and sellers? A: For sellers, pricing your property properly is imperative. “Aspirational pricing” might have worked over the last couple of years, but not anymore. The buyers are extremely educated and are willing to pay fair market value for a property, but will not reach for something. The market conditions are dictating this kind of behavior. 106 QUEST

For buyers, if you find something that you are interested in, make a strong offer. We have a major under supply of housing and there is still plenty of demand, so assume there will be competition, especially if the property is priced at today’s market value. If you are looking for value in this market, look for properties that require work. Many buyers are not willing to go through the renovation/building process because of supply chain issues. They want instant gratification and don’t want the hassle of managing a project. In the end, if a buyer does a project, they will be rewarded for their “sweat equity.” Q: Tell us about a listing. A: I have a penthouse at Breakers Row, which doesn’t come along very often. It has the most expansive outdoor terrace that overlooks the ocean and the Breakers golf course. The apartment has ultra high ceilings with three bedrooms plus a staff room and includes a poolside cabana. It’s the ultimate luxury to own a penthouse in such a prestigious building! Asking price is $19,500,000. Q: Anything else you’d like to share? A: Palm Beach has continued to evolve over the last few years. In the past, we were known as a resort town and now we have morphed into a full time residential area. With all of the businesses moving here, we have barely reached the tip of the iceberg.

A: I have been involved in real estate for 20 years. Split between two firms. Page Taft Christie’s and William Pitt Sotheby’s. I specialize in the second home market for mostly New Yorkers, some international clients and recently full time residents that discovered the area during the pandemic. I represent most of the Connecticut Shoreline from New Haven to Stonington. Guilford, Madison, Essex, Old Saybrook, Old Lyme, Old Black Point, East Lyme, Lyme, Mystic, and Stonington. Q: What attracts people to the suburbs? A: The quality of life is hard to top anywhere. We are halfway between Manhattan and Boston. There are interests for all walks of life. Art, music, fine dining, farmer’s markets, nature preserves, equestrian facilities, sailing, boating,

golf, tennis, paddle tennis and plenty of opportunities to volunteer. Q: Describe the current state of the market. A: The market is slowly transitioning from a sellers’ market to more of a buyers’ market. We are seeing more price reductions, listings staying on the market longer and more contingencies in offers. Rising rates and inflation are starting to take hold and are putting certain buyers on the sidelines. Q: What advice can you offer buyers and sellers? A: Heading into the fall market will present some good opportunities for buyers with more inventory coming on the market at lower prices. I would advise sellers to price realistically and not compare today’s market environment to the past two years. Q: Tell us about a listing. A: Blenheim Hall is a magnificent waterfront listing on Selden Creek in Lyme, Connecticut. The property consists of a tennis court, equestrian facility, pool, dock, boathouse, gardens, guesthouse, and privacy. A gem!

sellers and/or agents are traveling and enjoying some time off. We are finding that people are traveling aboard and are not as focused on the market at the moment. However, we are seeing that when unique and great opportunities become available, there is activity and those properties are going under contract relatively quickly. We are anticipating a strong fall and winter season once buyers get back into town and become more focused on Palm Beach. Q: What advice can you offer buyers and sellers? A: We advise sellers, that even though the market is a little slower than it has been, it’s a great time to list as our inventory is still at an all-time low. If you are contemplating selling, its still a good time as new inventory always receives a lot of interest! For buyers, there are still opportunities out there; one just needs to give it a shot. We never know where a seller is willing to sell now that its summer. Q: Any notable listings? A: We recently listed an oceanfront property in the coveted Northend for $34,900,000. It’s the first time the property has been available for sale in over 50 years. The property has 115’ of oceanfront and is 210’ deep with its own private beach parcel.

My partner, Jennifer Callahan Dickerson, and I have specialized in luxury Pre-war Cooperatives and townhouses on the Upper East and West Sides, especially on Park and Fifth Avenues and Central Park West. Q: Tell me about New York City’s competitive market. A: As of this writing in early July, we are in a waning market, having come off an outrageous bubble in 2021 and early 2022, just like other areas of the country. In addition, the current concern regarding interest rates, inflation, oil prices etc, has the market taking a further pause until everyone’s nerves settle down a bit. The activity in cooperatives continues to be in under $4m market with lots of pied-a-terre purchasers and the

townhouse market seems to be relatively active. We are hoping the gentle waning of the overheated market of 2021 will provide a soft landing without much affect on prices. “Res ipsa loquitur”, or the market speaks for itself. Q: Tell me about a standout listing. A: We have an extraordinarily charming two bedroom flat (pictured above) located in the beautiful Federal George Whitney house cooperative off Park Avenue on the stately East 80th Street. This landmarked house was designed by renowned Cross and Cross and has a grand entrance with a large circular staircase, elevator, five luxurious flats and a live-in super.

Q: Describe the current state of the market. A: We are no longer in a ‘out of control’ marketplace, but the values that Greenwich provides are second to none. Interest rates are still at a reasonable level and the combination of good property values creates strong demand and stability. We are at the lowest inventory that we have experienced in many years. Contracts are still strong. After a long hiatus from traveling, many people are enjoying their summer and trying to focus on family right now. The inquiries are still strong and the expectation is that the later part of the summer the activity level will pick up. For the purchaser who is serious about buying in the next three months, that area of the market is very strong. Q: What advice can you offer buyers and sellers? A: The market is quite different than it was six months ago. Sellers need to realize that buyers have options so price your properties to represent the value and not an inflated price. Buyers need to realize that most sellers in Greenwich do not need to sell. Look at these properties as an investment in your lifestyle. There are no ‘deals’ but rather great opportunities to live in a community that is sophisticated, safe and world renowned. The property taxes are so low in Greenwich. This lifestyle is very difficult to achieve anywhere in the U.S. From above: Robin Hill Farm at 7 John Street in Greenwich, listed for $39,500,000; Shelly Tretter Lynch. AUGUST 2022 111

ALEXIS MCANDREW Q: Tell me about your background in real estate. A: Real Estate is in my blood. I grew up in Palm Beach, where my mother, Brenda, was in real estate. I remember going to her Open Houses and helping her turn on and off the lights. In those days, you used to have do a lot of mailings; she used to pay my brother and I to lick envelopes for her. In college, I lived in Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard during the summers, and while other friends were getting summer jobs working in stores or scooping ice cream, I always went to the real estate office first to look for a job. In 2004, I started working at Brown Harris Stevens in Manhattan as a top producer’s assistant. I loved it! I was praised by my continuous job-well-done and enjoyed meeting new people every day. I ran around the city showing high-end apartments and townhouses. I also worked on new developments. In 2013, I went out on my own at Stribling and enjoyed running my own business. In 2016, I joined Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty, where I have continued to thrive and am proud to be nominated to Gold Circle of Excellence.

ket. In Locust Valley, our market is always a unique market due to the lack of inventory and almost no rentals. With scarce inventory, homes that are move-in condition and priced slightly below market have seen multiple bids, which then leads to over ask sales. Right now, I think you must price homes very carefully. You only have one chance to make a first impression. Mrs. Stribling used to tell us that if a home has been shown over a dozen times and you haven’t received an offer, than it is time to adjust the price. The market will tell you if you are overpriced with no bids or underpriced with multiple bids. Right now, sellers should spend time thinking about choosing the best listing broker for their property, how you market a home matters. I strongly believe in photos, floorplans, videos, and social media ads. My advice for buyers is to be prepared with a pre-approval letter or proof of funds, and to think about all the terms of your offer. If a house is a brand new construction I would think about waiving the inspection or if you know the sellers need more time to find their next home maybe a delayed closing is something that will be valuable.

Q: Describe the current state of the market. A: I would describe the current market as a transitioning mar-

Q: How did the MAP Team come to be? A: The three of us have been successful individual realtors for over 20 years. We all grew up together in Palm Beach and two years ago decided to join forces to form the MAP Team at Brown Harris Stevens. Our families were in real estate and bought and flipped many houses on the island so between the team, we have worked and lived in most of the wonderful neighborhoods that Palm Beach has to offer. Q: Which areas does the team represent? A: We specialize in Palm Beach and select areas of West Palm Beach as well as Manalapan, Ocean Ridge, Gulf Stream and Delray Beach. Q: Describe the current market. A: A lot of people are curious if the market is slowing down, however, people and businesses continue to flood to Florida. While the market may plateau a bit, inventory is slim, and off market sales are still more prevalent than ever. Prices are high

and desirable listings are selling fast. In addition, developers are building luxury apartments along the water that are selling out quickly. Investors are continuing to improve and build in our area. Q: What advice can you offer buyers and sellers? A: Due to the lack of inventory, if you like something, buy it. What we’ve seen this year is that buyers need to act fast and most things have sold for ask or even over ask. Make sure to get local agents who have knowledge of the area and have access to off market listings. It is still an active seller’s market, so if you’re interested in selling, it is a great time to do so. Q: Tell us about a listing. A: We just sold a terrific property colisted with Ann Summers, for land value at 1265 North Lake Way for $23,000,000 after receiving multiple offers. We have another beautiful house soon to be listed for $12,000,000 in Gulf Stream on almost an acre with high elevation. Please contact us for details. Q: Anything else you’d like to share? A: Palm Beach and West Palm continue to be incredible places to live and work. With schools filling up fast, new restaurants opening, new shops, new and fabulous luxury buildings being built, and all the cultural events that we offer, the community has a strong energy. u From above: 1265 North Lake Way in Palm Beach, Florida; Missy, Alexis, and Peaches of the MAP Team.

400 THE QUEST

AS THE MORE SEASONED and perspicacious Quest reader

will note, this annual issue marks another year when we pause to salute Society’s stalwart individuals who continue to make a difference in the communities and institutions they inhabit and command. Although some wags have bellowed about town that such lists—indeed “society as we once knew it”—are as dead as Ward McAllister’s prized walnuts, Quest prefers the more enlightened view of our editor-in-chief, David Patrick Columbia, who 27 years ago quipped: “Whereas Mrs. Astor’s subjects were distinctly old-family members of old New York, the Quest 400 is distinctly the jet-age family members who can find themselves here, there, and everywhere on any given day.” As Quest’s list has always been more rooted in philanthropy than celebrity, we are provided with an annual opportunity to recognize a handful of these eleemosynary organizations that continue to excel in their remarkably high 116 QUEST

standards of caring, giving and building onto their heritage. Mirroring the tidal ebb and flow of the aformentioned social standings, a few of the once revered “old-line” philanthropies have sadly lost their way, allowing their original missions to be compromised, if not corrupted by their quest (apologies, dear reader!) to post ever bigger numbers and dollar amounts in the endless calcutta of charitable fund-raising. Ahh... one can almost hear Society’s founding forebearers groaning from their graves! Fortunately, there are a number of new altrustic endeavors poised to supercede those once venerable, but now atropic institutions. In last year’s 400 Issue, Quest recognized “The Next Generation of Giving,” tipping our hats to a half dozen fresh-faced charities. The article’s author, pointed out that, with so many charitable causes to choose from, there was absolutely “no excuse for apathy.” We endorse this conclusion and will continue to report on its charitable progress.

STORIED MANSIONS In the first two decades of the 20th century, private mansion-buildings flourished along Park Avenue. BY DAVID PATRICK COLUMBIA

BACK IN the early days of the new country, after Percy Rivington Pyne the grid was put in place (1857-1929). in New York, in the second decade of the 19th century, Park Avenue was called Fourth Avenue. Fourth was the avenue that carried the tracks of Cornelius Vanderbilt’s New York and Harlem Railroad. The railroad had entered daily life of New Yorkers, but living with it was no picnic. Besides the steam, there was the soot and the endless noise whenever it passed. The public demanded that something be done about it despite Mr. Vanderbilt’s objections. By the 1870s, the railroad tracks on Fourth Avenue were covered. Then, in 1888, the tracks above 47th Street north to 97th Street were covered. That single change of covering the tracks and creating the Park Avenue Tunnel—which ends at the Park Avenue Viaduct on 97th Street—was enough for developers and individuals to build brownstone houses (and stores). In the first two decades of the 20th century, private mansion-buildings flourished along Park Avenue north of 60th Street. A century later, there are only a handful left. The following are three prominent examples which remain intact (although no longer private residences) and one whose 138 QUEST

architectural ghost remains to remind. In 1906, Percy Rivington Pyne, banker and financier, purchased the lots on the southwest and northwest corners of 68th Street and Park Avenue to build a mansion on the northwest corner. He also bought the south corner of 68th so that he could choose who his neighbor might be and avoid an apartment house towering over his residence. Harold Pratt would become his southern neighbor. Pyne hired McKim, Mead and White to design, and waited until 1909 when the Park Avenue tracks were successfully covered over. The house, number 680 Park Avenue, was completed two years later. Percy Rivington Pyne died in 1929, at 72. In 1947 his widow sold the house to the Chinese Delegation to the U.N. Shortly thereafter it was sold again to the Soviet Mission to the U.S. The house became a center for public controversy soon thereafter. In 1960, Nikita Khrushchev came to New York and stayed there. One morning Mr. Khrushchev appeared on the balcony over the front entrance to talk to the crowd that had assembled out of curiosity. According to the New York Times, the Soviet Premier sang the “Internationale” and spoke to the crowd about foreign policy and the arms race.

This page: The Percy Rivington Pyne House.

The Soviets sold the house to a real estate developer whose intention was to build a 31-story apartment house. In 1964, having built a much larger mansion on East 66th Street, the Soviets sold the house to a real estate developer whose intention was to build a 31-story apartment house. The developers had immediately begun interior demolition on nos. 680 and 684 when in January of 1965, the Marquesa de Cuevas, a granddaughter of John D. Rockefeller, bought the properties. The Marquesa donated 680 Park to the Center for Inter-American Relations (now the Americas Society). The other properties were sold to buyers sympathetic to her cause. The Harold Pratt House. Harold Pratt was the youngest son 140 QUEST

of oil mogul Charles Pratt whose fortune came from the family company’s merger with Rockefeller’s Standard Oil. William Adams Delano was hired to design the house. The family moved in early 1920. Mr. Pratt had become a member of the fledgling Council on Foreign Relations, which was founded in 1921 with the charter of affording “Continuous conference on international questions affecting the United States, by bringing together experts on statecraft, finance, industry, education and science.” Mr. Pratt died of pneumonia in 1939 at age 62. His widow Harriet continued to live in the house until 1945 when she gifted the mansion to the CFR as a memorial to her husband, stipulating that it be known as the Harold Pratt House. The Redmond Houses. In April 1912, a man named Geraldyn Redmond and his sister-in-law, Countess de Langiers Villars had bought six Victorian townhouses that ran from 69th Street north on Park Avenue. The intention was to build “a large dwelling on the site.” It would be two houses built as one, and looking as one, but with two different entrances. Although an unfamiliar name in New York today, the

Redmonds were, like the Pynes, the Bakers, and the Pratts, established members of Society. Mr. Redmond had a banking firm as well as having inherited a lucrative linen business. His wife was a direct descendant of Robert Livingston who received the grant from Queen Anne in the late 17th Century for what became 160,000 acres of what is now a significant part of Columbia County. McKim, Mead and White were hired to design the double five-story stone residence. Construction was completed by the end of 1914, when Mr. and Mrs. Redmond and their three sons and the Countess’ sister moved into their respective residences. Then Mrs. Redmond died suddenly a little more than a year later, in June 1916. Two years later, Mr. Redmond died suddenly “of paralysis” at age 64. After Mr. Redmond’s death in June 1920, his heirs decided to lease the house. Then on June 1927, the exclusive Union Club bought the property from the Redmond heirs for $1.265 million. Delano & Aldrich were hired to design the club. Construction would be delayed until the houses’ leases expired. The Baker House. In April 1915, a banker named Francis

Palmer purchased a house on the northeast corner of 93rd and Park which had been built in 1847 for General Winfield Scott, hero of the War of 1812. The following year, the house was demolished and Palmer hired Delano & Aldrich to design his house. Construction began in 1917 and completed in 1918. Eight years later, in 1926, the house was purchased by George F. Baker Jr., son of the Chairman of the First National Bank (now known, many mergers later as Citi), purchased the adjacent lot and hired Delano & Aldrich to build a large ballroom overlooking the garden, and a connecting house for his father (who died before the house was completed). Their father George Baker Jr. died suddenly in 1937 from peritonitis while on his yacht in the Hawaiian islands. His widow within a few years closed off the main house and ballroom wing and turned staff quarters above the garage into a pied-à-terre while spending the majority of her time at the Baker estate in Long Island. In 1958, she sold the house to the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, which had been established during the Revolution in 1920. The church remains owner of the house. u AUGUST 2022 141

STATUS & STYLE ON THE SEAS O L I V E R PI LC H E R ; CO U RTE S Y O F A S S O U L I N E

From left: The enchanting beauty of Lake Como paints the perfect backdrop for long days spent lounging on the Aquarama; Assouline’s Riva Aquarama.

WHEN IT COMES to high style on the seas, there is nothing more captivating than the Riva Aquarama, beloved for its clean lines, mahogany wood, sparkling chrome details, and signature robin’s egg-blue and cream upholstery—a speedboat that looks good from every angle, particularly from a bird’s-eye view. Designed and built by Carlo Riva, the boat has become the epitome of endless summers spent on the Côte d’Azur, evoking visions of the 1960s, when notables—from movie stars like Brigitte Bardot and Elizabeth Taylor to heads of state—would lounge and cruise along the coasts of Europe. To celebrate its 60th anniversary, Assouline will release a new book, Riva Aquarama, next month. Written by marine expert Michael Verdon with photography by Oliver Pilcher, the book delves into the history of the Riva Aquarama and the life of its founder, Carlo Riva, dating back AUGUST 2022 143

His father Serafino inherited the business from his own father, and shifted its focus from pleasure craft to race boats. “Carlo wanted to move in the opposite direction, believing a series approach to boatbuilding would be more efficient and profitable than oneoff jobs,” explained Verdon. He was able to bring his ideas to life when he launched his own yard in 1954. In 1962, he debuted the first Aquarama, officially marking the beginning of the legend of Riva, a brand that became a status symbol. “Owning an Aquarama is more than a membership club—it’s almost a religious thing,” said Alberto Galassi, CEO of Ferretti Group, which now owns Riva. “When you meet other owners and end up talking about the wonders of the Aquarama, there’s a sense of belonging to a very special community.” Building on the original Aquarama success, Riva introduced several variations over the years and by the mid ’60s—perhaps the most glamorous year for the company—the Aquarama had become the boat of choice for 144 QUEST

celebrities and royals alike. It was most envied vessel in Monte Carlo, where it was a yachting symbol of Port Hercules, and on the French and Italian Rivieras. “It was so visible in Monaco that it became closely linked with our maritime heritage,” said HSH Prince Albert II. To him, the Riva Aquarama exemplified a sense of exploration and the freedom to go wherever one wanted. “It was your tool to enjoy the Med, or wherever you are in the world,” said HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco. Today, there are only an estimated 650 still in existence, though Assouline’s book, with its captivating images and quotes from notable fans, will make you feel like part of the Riva Aquarama “club.” It will also be offered in a special edition form, presented in a luxury mahogany box that reflects the beauty of the boat’s magnificent hull. “There are no limits to the beauty of the Aquarama, how perfect it looks, and how timeless. It was an instant classic. You could have an 80-metre yacht, but people will always look at the Aquarama first,” said Galassi. u

PETE BOSTWICK A STORIED SPORTSMAN BY AUDAX GEORGE H. (“PETE”) BOSTWICK, one of the greatest amateur athletes of the 20th century, died on July 7th at 87. He was world champion in court tennis from 1969 to 1972, and a highly ranked lawn tennis, squash, racquets player and golfer as well as an ice hockey champion at Middlebury and, for a quarter century afterward, a stalwart on the St. Nicholas squad at Beaver Dam. I take a wee bit of what I hope is understandable pride at having played lawn tennis with three generations of Pete Bostwicks. Pete’s father was a legendary high goal polo player and amateur steeplechase jockey in the 1930s (to whom a rival professional jock was reputed to have snarled in tight quarters, “Get out of my way you sons of bitches…and you too, Mr. Bostwick”). As boys in the 1960s, my brother Pierce and I played with him frequently during the August Saratoga race meeting, and in view of his short stature tried, usually unsuccessfully, to lob him mercilessly. Pete’s son and I won a close member-guest finals at Rockaway Hunt in 160 QUEST

1992, and Pete himself and I went down to defeat in the 35 and over national grass court doubles in the early 2000s, by which time he was north of 60 but still superbly conditioned and by far the stronger member of our team. Pete came by his athletic prowess naturally. Not only was his Dad a Polo and Racing Hall of Famer, but his mother was also an excellent rider and golfer whose aunts, Harriet and Margaret Curtis, won four national championships and founded the Curtis Cup. Those genes have held true in successive generations, and Pete and his descendants have been exemplary in giving back to the sports they loved. As racquet sport historian Jim Zug has correctly pointed out, Pete was not only the ultimate athlete, but “the ultimate sportsman, enthusiastic, competitive and always prioritizing fair play.” Growing up sports-crazy on Long Island, my family and friends all looked up to and wanted to be like Pete. We shall not see his like again! u
