Ya Got Me

I guested at several DC-area hunts in the '60s and '70s, and the stable shown is unfamiliar to me. I assume that the riders shown are Master of Hounds, Whipper-In, etc., but they'd have been dead or about to be by the time I came along. [The hounds ("don't call those hounds dogs!") are typically fetching, but just as typically too similar in facial characteristics to permit physiognomy.] Thus do perish seemingly indelible social influences; for all I know, they don't even play polo at Woodlawn any more.
