PUBLISHER’S LETTER

ued progress on his blog via haven@pundificator.com. Beginning on page 148, the brilliant lens of Mary Hilliard returns to Quest, whose glamorous feature, “Look Who’s Talkin’” brings our trained eye back to a certain era in the 1990s when the long-tongued talk about town was more provocative than Covid-like, which admittedly today seems like ages ago. I end on a sadder note, but with enormous gratitude for a life fully lived and shared with us. Yesterday, we put down our dauntless Springer Spaniel, Tug, whose near 14 years brought tremendous joy to our entire and extended family. Tug leaves a legacy of courage, dignity, and love that we humans oft forget to emulate—yours truly most certainly included. We are blessed with the lessons which our canine pals teach us, especially appreciation. And love. Godspeed, brave Tugwell, my best of loyal companions. u

ON THE COVER: PAT R I C K M C M U LL A N ; CO U RT E S Y O F H AV E N P E LL ;

AUGUST ARRIVED quickly this year, as we sped through June and July still semi-sheltered and sequestered in one of the weirdest summers that I can recall. But it’s not all “bad weird,” as during this corona crisis we’ve each witnessed incredible acts of personal kindness, plus the outpourings of selfless community support that have made us think better about ourselves and our still uncertain condition. Gratitude ... appreciation ... unfiltered expressions of thanks have again become part of our makeup; just plain old human decency has returned. It’s refreshing, and one hopes ... long lasting. With August comes our annual 400 List, born from the stratifying mindset of Mrs. Caroline Astor’s snobby publicity hound, Ward McAllister. Amusingly enough, and as I’ve written before, The Quest 400 was the space-filling brainchild of our esteemed Editor in Chief, David Patrick Columbia (aka DPC), who some 25 years ago was in desperate need of last-minute copy, well knowing that all readers love lists. Our critics and competitors may scoff that such lists are outmoded in today’s meritocratic society, but we continue to believe there’s a place for recognizing—and appreciating!—the tradition of good manners and appropriate behavior. Moreover, this year’s 400 List pays special tribute to the Covid-heroes in several of Quest’s most loyal cities and towns. Beginning on page 126, we commend the fearless involvement of these communities where, in turn, their generous outreach was graciously met by those in greater need. Continuing into August, we welcome back Haven Pell to Quest’s pages, with his wryly written remembrance as a Crimson undergraduate who abandoned the playing fields of fair Harvard for the eccentric but luring game of court tennis at Beantown’s fabled Tennis & Racquet Club. Incredibly, Haven has gone on to play this cerebral masterpiece of racquet sports on 45 of the 47 surviving court tennis courts around the globe, and readers may want to track his contin-

NEW YORK SOCIAL DIARY MUSING ON MRS. ASTOR’S

original 400 List from the 1880s, it was curious to me that there were no Rockefellers on it. Further research showed that John D. and his wife Laura Spelman Rockefeller (known to family and friends as Cettie) lived in Cleveland until the late 1870s when Standard

Oil had become such an international enterprise that it necessitated a move to the city. Making an actual move must have taken some getting used to. At first, they put up in a hotel (the Buckingham) where Saks Fifth Avenue stands today, and in 1883 they bought a large townhouse at 4 West 54 Street from one Arabella

Worsham. The beautiful Mrs. Worsham, who had social aspirations, liked to pass herself off as a daughter of Collis Huntington, the California mining and railroad tycoon. She was actually the old man’s mistress. This all came to light when she became his wife. As Mrs. Huntington,

she built an appropriate mansion on a lot on the corner of 57th Street and Fifth Avenue, where Tiffany & Company stands today. Alas, her aspirations were never met by Mrs. Astor, and after Mr. H, who was 30 years her senior, died, Arabella married her husband’s nephew Henry, remaining a Huntington,

moving her ambitions to California (where she built one of the great museums in Pasadena). And John and Cettie Rockefeller and family moved into the Worsham mansion with their son John Jr. and three daughters, Alta, Edith, and Alice. Wealthy newcomers to the city, Rockefeller and his Standard Oil were famous in the worlds (social and otherwise) of banking and business. He and his wife, however, had no social aspirations. They were a comparatively pious family, religious Baptists (rather than the High Episcopalians glorified by the WASP ascendency). The closest their name could ever come to scandal was that they were living in 28 QUEST

a house previously owned by another man’s mistress. The Rockefellers’ presence in the land of Caroline Astor and Edith Wharton was unremarkable to society. They moved in those early days between New York and Cleveland—where they kept a house—and Forest Hill, Ohio, where they kept an enormous wood and stucco pile on Lake Erie. Their social life was among family members, clerics, neighbors (sometimes), and business associates. Their children, coming of age in the early 20th century were more social than their parents, but rarely if ever in an aspirational way. When their only son, John Jr., married Abby Aldrich (whose father was

a powerful senator from Rhode Island) in 1901, the 500 guests were transported to the Aldrich summer home in Newport on a special train of 45 private railroad cars and two private steamers. Among those attending were Vanderbilts, Whitneys and Astors (the next generation of an always-changing New York). In 1912, now a family of five children, John Jr. built a much larger house at number 10 West 54th, next door to his parents. It was the tallest private house ever built in New York before or since—8 stories. The land on which those two houses sat are today occupied by the Museum of Modern Art which was co-founded and funded by

Abby Aldrich Rockefeller and her husband. By the time of John Jr.’s wedding, John Sr. was one of the richest men in America, and Standard Oil was a huge corporation whose power and wealth was known all over the world. His income in the year of Junior’s marriage was reported to be $60 million (or several billion in today’s dollars). While his life had changed dramatically because of the stupendous success of his business, his private social life remained unheralded. He had zero interest. By then, he regarded himself as semi-retired. He was in his early 60s, and had worked from the time he was a young boy. In his spare time, he

D AV I D PAT R I C K C O L U M B I A liked to stay home and enjoy his development and management in myriad ways, which his wealth could afford to perfection. He had also acquired an estate in Lakehurst, New Jersey, and a winter house in Ormond Beach, Florida. But the center of his New York life was becoming the property in the Pocantico Hills area of North Tarrytown. It was the closest environment to Forest Hill, which he loved. His brother William, who had built an estate on 1000 acres in the Pocantico area,

first introduced him to the area. Mr. Rockefeller’s initial purchase—400 acres overlooking the Hudson and the Catskills—was chosen not for its popularity with the landed gentry, but because of its glorious view. He purchased it in 1893 during a financial panic when land prices had dropped precipitously. When it came to purchasing anything, Mr. Rockefeller always looked for the best buy. No matter how great his fortune, his childhood’s uncertain and meager financial existence imbued

him with the crucial importance of thrift. He had always worked for his money. “Willful waste makes woeful want” was one of his lifelong by-laws. The early years of the new century was also a time of major change in his life, emphasized by his public exposure by a muckraking journalist Ida Tarbell, an editor at McClure’s magazine. McClure’s was one of the most widely read magazines in the country, and very influential. Tarbell was a thorough journalist, a no-nonsense,

sensible, hardworking woman who wrote “A History of Standard Oil,” first published as a serial in McClure’s. A history of Standard Oil was the history of its creator, Mr. Rockefeller. The company was already famous, like its founder, because of its great success from the development of kerosene for household and commercial use. Standard Oil controlled at least 70% of the world market, and Mr. Rockefeller had a reputation for being shrewd and brutal with

his competition. He referred to himself as “good with figures.” Thirty years after its founding, at the beginning of the 20th century, Standard Oil’s business was about to increase a thousandfold more because of the developing Automotive Age. Philanthropy had been a natural course for him. From childhood, he shared in household chores, helping his mother. This was in the days before any ordinary conveniences, even running water, and the Rockefellers were poor. His father, who was a traveling salesman, referred to himself as “Doctor” or “Doc” when introducing his customers to his elixirs and miracle cures. He also, 32 QUEST

John’s family learned many years later, had another wife and family in another part of the state, and went by the named of Levingston to avoid being caught as a bigamist. Doc Levingston. Young John helped his mother by earning money raising turkeys, selling potatoes and candy, and eventually lending small sums to neighbors. The die had been cast at a very early age. His father advised him to always get the better part of any deal, once bragging that “I cheat my boys every chance I get. I want to make them “sharp.” When John first earned any money—from age seven doing errands, delivering papers—he tithed part of his earnings, even if it was a penny. He kept a record

in a book called Ledger A, containing an account of every penny earned and spent from boyhood to his early business years. An entry to Ledger A (he was sixteen): “September 26, 1855 – January 1, 1856: received $50 (wages). Paid board and washer-woman. Sewed a little Gave penny each Sabbath to Sunday School. “1856 – wages $25 per month. Nov. 24, 1855 – April 1856: spent for clothing, $9.09. Gave away $5.58. Gave to foreign missions, ten cents, to the Mite Society, fifty cents; to the Five Points Mission in New York twelve cents.” The clothing purchases were not all successful to the young man. Many years later, he recalled: “I

don’t know why I bought those gloves. I was wearing mittens at the time, always had worn mittens and they were cheap and comfortable. No, I can’t say to this day what caused me to waste that $2.50 on regular gloves.” Decades later, living large at Pocantico Hills, a story went around the Sleepy Hollow Country Club about Rockefeller’s spending. There was a man named Pat Lagin who worked for a laundry in Westchester, picking up the shirts of his customers who knew him personally. It came to pass that Mr. Lagin one day went to work for another laundry. Mr. Rockefeller, who liked Lagin, decided not to switch laundries

D AV I D PAT R I C K C O L U M B I A since he was happy with his longtime laundry. Pat Lagin, however, in an effort to get his business, submitted to Rockefeller a list comparing the prices of his former employer with his new employer. The old employer charged five cents a collar. The new laundry charged four cents. A dress shirt with the old laundry cost thirty-

five cents. Lagin’s new employer charged thirty cents. Rockefeller, looking over the comparisons asked his valet if the new laundry did good work. The answer was the affirmative. “Well then,” said the Richest Man in the World, “Pat shall have our work again. The difference in price will run into quite a savings, to be

sure.” By his 60s in the early part of the century, still looking forward to living to 100, John D. Rockefeller withdrew from the public eye, devoting much of his time to developing his property in Pocantico Hills. The public clamor led to strangers showing up on the property and sometimes even in numbers, so that

tall fences with barbed wire were put up to keep him and his family and staff safe from potential marauders looking for trouble. A complex security system was installed where much of the property was equipped with lights that could with a flick of the switch light the grounds surrounding the houses. He added to the first 400 acres

until there were more than 6,000. Its development was also a boon to the tiny village outside the property. Eventually there were hundreds working there, inside and outside. Roads were installed (a total of 70 miles of roadway). He loved driving around the road admiring the views, inspecting the landscaping projects, keeping track of all the details. In 1912, after the house he’d originally bought 36 QUEST

was razed by fire, he was encouraged to build a new, grander house on the highest point of the property overlooking the Hudson and the Catskill mountains in the distance. It would be named Kykuit, a Dutch word for the “highest point.” Many additional houses had already been built to accommodate household staff as well as grounds and construction workers. Gardens were planted to

supply the households with vegetables and to cultivate the property with flowers. Forests were planted, or moved to accommodate additions to the property, all of which was overseen by the man whose mind was always creating the bigger picture. I grew up hearing about Mr. Rockefeller’s “dimes.” Those gifts, which would be tiny to the 21st century person, as John Winkler explained in

The New Yorker, “weren’t souvenirs to chance acquaintances.” There was a deeper significance to Mr. Rockefeller’s gesture. There was a two-fold purpose to his bestowing the “Declaration of the Dime,” which was to “inculcate the principles of saving and thrift, and to establish warmer personal relationship with his fellows.” These shiny coins were, in Winkler’s words,

D AV I D PAT R I C K C O L U M B I A “the beads of the roar of Croesus, and he gloats over them. For he believes each bead betokens a deed well done and he sees himself eventually lifted up to the very gates of God by such strands.” Winkler described the man he was meeting as “old” when he was 18, but then, approaching 88, the man was young. “Just as he was determined at 18 to become the richest man in the world and succeeded, so he has determined to live on indefinitely upon an earth whose expansion he has so largely directed. This fine factual mind has never known failure.” Winkler concluded that come July 8, 1939 when Rockefeller would hit his

centennial, he’d be out in his garden listening to a band playing music. This of course was not to be— John D. Rockefeller died in 1937, two years from his goal of 100. To this reader, this was a man who had the selfdiscipline to adjust to vagaries of age of a long life intensely lived, and yet continued to restore his interests in the day-to-day experience of living. In The New Yorker profile, John Winkler writes in detail about his days, which were well organized and well ordered and active. He slept eight hours each night. He arose every morning at 7 when his valet would enter and open his curtains. He’d go

into the bathroom to bath/ shower, shave, and then put on his suit to “promptly step into the elevator” (his bedroom was on the third floor of the house) and go to the first floor for his breakfast. The dining room was specifically designed (his idea) to face east and north, catching the morning sun and looking out on the circular garden with its marble fountain in the center. He ate sparingly but without restriction except for certain exceptions: sweets, tomatoes, cucumbers. Tiny portions; a couple spoonfuls of cereal, a drop of coffee, a forkful of egg, a tiny bit of meat, all consumed very slowly “seemingly actually

chewing his liquids as well as solids.” The total amount of food ingested in day amounting to no more than 2 or 3 medium-sized sandwiches. He had trained to sleep for five or ten minutes at a time. Then he read the morning paper—the New York Times and the New York Evening Post. “He follows world events,” Winkler notes, “with great care. But the papers really tell him very little. He himself could publish the most interesting newspaper. And each day he’d have a flock of beats.” Newspapers speculating on new “the health of a great diplomat or the probably overthrow of a government,” are not news

There are more than 200 phones at Pocantico, four of which [were] private, local, suburban and long distances lines.” One hour after breakfast he puts on his golfing suit, “an old cap with side flaps, one or two sweaters, rough, loose-fitting and floppy 40 QUEST

long life, intensely focused and curious to learn so he understood the principles of the game perfectly. Over a period of several weeks he averaged 48 for 9 holes. His golf bag contained more clubs than the average golfer: two drivers, two brassies of different weights (the brassies being his favorite clubs). His principle: “Always use a heavier club.” Winkler noted that “the prettiest attribute of his game is its direction. He

loses no more than three balls a year, and he can tell exactly under what circumstances they were lost and whether the fault was his or his caddy’s.” “His lifelong habits are evident even in his golf. He asserts no energy in a preliminary swing, no waggling of the club in addressing the ball—just steps up and socks it. Every two or three holes he pulls a piece of chalk out of his pocket and liberally smears the face of his driver.

IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY I WAS GLAD when the illustrious Women’s Committee of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center agreed to be photographed in 1974. The appointment was for 2 o’clock, and I remember getting there early to set up lights and camera and was quite impressed that everyone was already there. All of these impressive, no-nonsense women, including several old friends now gone, were dedicated to promoting awareness and raising funds to keep MSK on the cutting-edge of cancer research, education and treatment. They were determined to help in the fight to conquer cancer. These dedicated women and those who have followed have to share in the credit for keeping Memorial Sloan-Kettering, simply put, the best. u Front row, seated, left to right: Mrs. Walter B.

TA K I

GREEK ISLES

Left to right: A 1771 map of Turkey and Greece; the author, Taki Theodoracopulos,

I’VE BEEN LOOKING at cows from my bedroom window since two months, and although their bovine gaze betrays more intelligence than those of their farmer-owners, I’m sick and tired of all of them. I need blue skies and wine-dark sea. As described by my direct ancestor Homer, good old Helvetia can be fun during the winter months, but come Spring and Summer, only Julie Andrews likes the sound of the Alps. So the Isles of Greece it is, the Ionian ones, where the Taki family derives from, and where the hated Turk’s footprints can only be discerned using a powerful microscope. As readers of the Odyssey know, Ithaca was the kingdom where Penelope knitted for 20 long years, keeping the suitors at arms length while waiting for her husband the King to return from the Trojan War. Ithaca was almost uninhabited when the Republic of Venice took 90 QUEST

over the Ionian Islands around 1350 or so. The Fall of Byzantium in May 1453 saw mainland Greece go under the yoke of the Sultan for 400 long years. Not so with the Ionian Islands. The seven isles that lie west of the mainland came and remained under the influence of Venice, the Doges acting as benevolent rulers, allowing the Greeks to practice their Orthodox Christianity although many took up Catholicism as a result. There was no coercion—some of my family were raised Catholic, hence the islands enjoyed a renaissance the rest of Greece did not. Napoleon did away with the Republic and the Ionian isles came under the French, but only for a few years. Then the British arrived, staking out cricket pitches in the middle of Corfu town, introducing teas and polite conversations instead of rowdy and loud political arguments, and re-inventing gay practices

that had lay dormant since classical times. In 1864, when Prince George, aged only 17, came from Denmark to take up the Greek throne for which the Great Powers had decreed, the British government handed over the Ionian Islands to Greece as the new king’s dowry. Then something funny happened. Venetian titles were abolished by the Greek constitution, declaring that in view of the fact that all Greeks were noble, titles were redundant. Seeing some of these “nobles” from the mainland for the first time, a great grandfather of mine whose Venetian title had gone with the wind was known to have raised an eyebrow more than once. But enough said about the past, although writing about Greece and not mentioning past history is like alluding to Steve Cohen and not using the word vulgar. Prince Philip was of course born on a kitchen table in Corfu, his father,

CO U RTE S Y O F BY G E O G R A P H I C U S R A R E A N T I Q U E M A P S ; J O H N A N G E R S O N F O R T H E T I M E S

on his boat in Greece.


TA K I

Clockwise from top left: Taki’s boat, Bushido; Jacob Rothschild’s Corfu villa; Jacob Rothschild at Waddesdon Manor in England.

Prince Andrew of Greece, almost coming to a bad end following the Asia Minor catastrophe of 1922. (Six politicians were shot at dawn, the Brits insisting that Philip’s father be allowed to “escape.” Corfu is the largest of the seven islands, and I used to visit annually but only by boat. Tourism has done to Corfu, a beautiful lush island when the Durrells first visited in the ’30s, what tourism does to all beautiful places: deprived it of its charm and uniqueness. The last time I was there, I had dinner at Jacob Rothschild’s house, a beautiful place high above the seafront with its own port, when in a moment of Shylockian greed I agreed to charter my boat for one week to Nate Rothschild, his son, eager at the time to get away from his old man on my beautiful sailboat. When I got back on her I found a note in my cabin. It read something like this: “Had someone told me that I would be spending nights in Taki’s bed, I would have wagered everything I own against it. But I’ve had four wonderful evenings in his bed.” Signed Peter Mandelson. (A Tony Blair minister and a supposed great enemy of mine.) South of Corfu, lie Paxos and anti-Paxos, two of the most charming islands because they have stayed small and totally unspoiled. About 10 years ago,

having come close to an AntiPaxos bay with my boat and then swum ashore, I was approached by two Italian ladies of a certain age and told in no uncertain terms in extraordinarily upper class accents not to anchor so close because boats draw other boats and soon the bay will be like St. Tropez. I agreed and signaled to the captain to distance himself and Bushido. There are only a few farmhouses on the island and the Italians seem to have discovered it long before we Greeks did. Further south lies my favorite island, Cephalonia. There are charter flights directly from London to Argostoli, the capital, probably the best natural harbor in the Ionian archipelago. Cephalonia is green all over, hilly, and its people simply wonderful and welcoming. I sail up to Fitzcardo, a northern anchorage, and dine away in Toula’s, a taverna on the water that serves the best fish and the finest Greek wines. There are nearby hills to walk up for exercise, very green and full of wild flowers, and wonderful bays to swim in. Assos beach has water that makes anything the West Indies brag about look like New York’s east river. Almost connected with Cephalonia in the south is the Taki clan island of Zante, or Zakynthos in Greek. My earliest souvenirs of the place were dropping anchor in the main port and hearing Mozart played by an orchestra in the main square. Zante had the oldest families and the most beautiful Ve-

netian architecture of any of the isles, and the most beautiful cantatas—all now gone. The 1953 earthquake devastated the island and the modernists rebuilt it in their own hideous manner. The place now looks like an old woman whose reconstructed face is hideously scarred by plastic surgery. Zante produced our greatest poets, Solomos and Kalvos, plus one of Italy’s finest, Foscolo. It was a magical island of graceful manners and romance, now a tourist trap but with unequaled beaches and among the old folks there are still some wonderful manners and courtesies. I no longer sail there because I find it too painful. I had a glimpse in 1953 and wish to stay with those memories. And now for places in Greece not to go. Unless you’re very gay and very horny, stay away from Mykonos, once upon a time the best party island in the world. Mykonos is now overrun by patchouliscented grab-drag artists, ghastly Gulf playboys of deranged sexual proclivities, Saudi perverts, and Russian hookers of undetermined sex. The island is expensive, the locals have turned rude and crooked, and the place simply stinks. Stay away. If one needs to go to the Aegean, try Amorgos, a wild isle that is what Mykonos was once upon a time, a windswept, whitewashed place with great waters and a nice welcoming population. u For more Taki, visit takimag.com.

These changes have allowed the resort to run business as usual (while following physical distancing guidelines), so all the activities that keep guests returning each year can still be enjoyed. Families can enjoy the new family pool at Minitas Beach, play tennis, saddle-up at the Equestrian Center, or explore the shops and lively restaurants like Chilango at Altos de Chavón, the replica 16th century Mediterranean village. Plus, if you book an all inclusive package through October 31st, up to two kids stay, eat, and play for free. Ideal for a “guys’ getaway,” the resort features four championship golf courses, including the world-renowned Teeth of the Dog, and a shooting center with trap, skeet, sporting clays, and 98 QUEST

Couples seeking a romantic getaway can lounge at one of the many pools, rejuvenate at the spa, enjoy dinner beachside at Minitas Beach Club, or a candlelit meal at the Italian La Piazzetta. There’s truly something for everyone to enjoy. Casa de Campo also boasts many luxury villas for longterm stays—in both garden and oceanfront settings— offering a safe sanctuary for people who have been given the greenlight to continue to work from home. Although each has its own unique characteristics, all are staffed with dedicated butlers, private pools, and are available for longterm stays—creating the ultimate quarantine lifestyle in the sunny Caribbean. u For more information about Casa de Campo or for bookings, please visit casadecampo.com.do or call 855.580.4814.

DESIGN

“BEAUTY HAS a huge role to play in altering our mood,” says the philosopher and writer Alain de Botton. “When we call a chair or a house beautiful, really what we’re saying is that we like the way of life it’s suggesting to us. It has an attitude we’re attracted to: if it was magically turned into a person, we’d like who it was.” The world has experienced a major shift since the beginning of March. We now spend more time at home either working remotely, helping our children with schoolwork, or just preferring to stay safe. Many are refocusing their less-than-favorable energies on the positive—like a new home design. Currently there is a trend among designers of utilizing revitalized furniture pieces, and with most people quarantined, several are searching for a project to keep them occupied. 100 QUEST

Turning a previously loved piece of furniture into something entirely new is a fantastic way to stay creative. Plus, there are designers (available online or local) who can lead you through the process. Right now, you can easily access the designers that are transforming vintage, second hand, and even tired pieces into entirely new and exciting décor. A home that inspires happiness and well-being can be the edge you need to stay ahead of this chaotic time. By “refreshing” your existing furnishings, you won’t need to worry about deliveries, losing deposits, installations, or just spending too much money in an uncertain time. And by consulting with your local professional designer you are also supporting small businesses. Gil Walsh is available for more tips on easily transforming your home in a hectic world.

LUXURY LOGISTICS, TAKING THE STRESS OUT OF MOVING

MICHELLE BOREN learned the hard way why moving is often listed as one of the most-stressful events in life. But fortunately, her own tough experiences have helped her craft a successful business, Luxury Logistics, which is known for making any transition seamless. “I’ve been humbled by each journey,” she says of her personal moves, accepting that there is always something new to learn—“like a smarter, more efficient way of doing things next time,” she explains. These days, Michelle expertly manages all the aspects of a move for her clients, so stress is no longer a factor, adding: “All that’s left is the exhilaration of starting a new chapter. That’s what I do best.” Luxury Logistics specializes in New York and South Florida, where Michelle coordinates the physical move and manages overlooked details such as furniture placement and transporting valuable art, wine, and gun collections. No stone goes unturned. She’ll even assist in the real estate negotiation while helping her clients get settled in their new communities by finding the best schools, concierge doctors, and contractors to assist with any last-minute renovations that may arise. “There’s a lot of psychology involved in matching a client with the most effective and appropriate real estate agent, general contractor, interior designer, et cetera,” she says. “We take pride in really getting to know you so we can appreciate your needs and provide more customized services that cater to unique situations. We do not consider our job done until you 102 QUEST

are fully immersed in your new community.” That’s why Luxury Logistics is not a moving company; it’s a “full-service transition team, offering comprehensive relocation packages involving so much more,” as Michelle describes it. “Managing a relocation requires in-depth knowledge of real estate, contract negotiation, mortgage financing, permitting, tax rules and regulations, and financial reporting. We connect the people, infrastructure, technology, expertise, and insights in one package. This is what defines us as leaders in the Florida and New York markets.” It’s also what makes Luxury Logistics unique. Plus, Michelle Boren understands that her clients’ time is valuable. She prides herself on efficiency. “We should be your first and last call.” Which it was for jewelry designer Stephanie Kantis, who used Luxury Logistics for her move from Dallas, Texas, to Palm Beach. In her early conversations, Kantis wanted to know how long it would take her from being “the new kid in town” to getting situated. She found out rather quickly, and now when others ask that same question, Kantis offers this as a response: “Right away—if you know Michelle Boren.” u For more information, please visit luxurylogistics.com.

THE LATE 1960S are better remembered than the middle of that decade because turmoil resonates more than simmering transition, albeit a transition that was fast coming to a boil. Before the mid 1960s, boys who were viewed to be well educated, thanks to time spent at a handful of New England boarding schools and four years at Harvard, Yale or Princeton, where they would have joined the social or eating clubs of their fathers and grandfathers, could expect to slide gracefully into the upper reaches of law and finance. From the late 1960s onward, that would all change thanks to the “meritocratization” of college admissions and social unrest relating to the Civil Rights Movement and the War in Vietnam. It was an interesting time to be at college as it had a certain finde-siecle atmosphere, though it would be some decades before I would know the meaning of that phrase. In September 1964, I drove a blue Volkswagen Beetle filled with all my stuff from New York to Harvard to begin my freshman year. Come to think of it, I have no recollection of a tennis bat in the grab bag of whatever. There was probably a clock radio but no elaborate music system. There were assuredly no parents with large, heavily loaded vehicles nor enclosed trailers. Those were simpler times. I had never heard of the “three S’s”—social life, sports and studies—that are now staples of college advising, perhaps because nobody thought to say those words in the context of choices as to the spending of time at college in the mid-60s. Studies would surely have finished a distant last. My father’s parting advice was never to go above the second floor of a house in Boston because crazy relatives were often housed on the third.

Sports at college were supposed to begin with hockey for reasons of family tradition, but mine began with soccer thanks to an early head start while at school in Europe. That advantage had carried me through boarding school and would do the same freshman year, but it then faded at the varsity level. I did not play senior year and was assuredly not missed. Hockey began late because of the overlap in the two seasons. By the time I appeared, the others had been playing for several weeks. Harvard had had an uncharacteristically bad run for several years and they decided to end that blemish on their long tradition. My class of hockey players did not appear at random. I would end up rooming with them but not playing with them. On the freshman team, they sat on the front bench while I sat on the back one in a distant corner. They went on to the varsity while I went to the JV. Clearly those were not to be the pathways to sports success, at least not in that transitional era. Court tennis it would have to be, and there was no such thing at Harvard. Harvard had actually had a court tennis court, but it had been converted to something else. I would not even learn of it until four decades later. It had been built as an amenity in one of the residential houses that were, at the time, privately owned, but those entrepreneurial ventures were acquired or replaced by the university during the 1930s. No more need to make one house more attractive to students than another. The Tennis & Racquet Club in Boston was among the institutions that looked backward and, during that period, was in a state of genteel WASP decline. AUGUST 2020 109


From left: The stairway inside the Tennis & Racquet Club of Boston; the club’s entrance. Opposite page, from above: Watching a game of court tennis;

The club had been designed in the style of Louis XVI in the early 1900s by J. Harleston Parker, who had been instructed to spare no expense. Joseph Bickley was “brought over” from England to work his magic on the court tennis and racquets courts. At the time it was built, the club was convenient to Boston’s residential areas and amenities like the Boston Symphony Orchestra rather than to the downtown business district some miles away. From the end of World War II, however, Bostonians like many other Americans were moving to the suburbs and taking the club’s logical source of members elsewhere. There was a huge office building across the street built by the Prudential Insurance Company, but its army of clerical workers did not provide a reliable supply of members. That reliable supply was working increasingly hard in downtown Boston or living in the distant suburbs. During his lifetime tennis Odyssey, Australian George Limb visited the Tennis & Racquet Club in 1965 and observed that it was “very little used.” The building is four or five stories high and the court tennis, racquets and squash courts are on the top floor. Below that was a 110 QUEST

dressing room and below that was a floor that included a dining room, a bar and what was called a morning room. The morning room idea was new to me, but it was—after all—Boston. While it was fully furnished, even to the eyes of an 18-year-old, it needed a good spiffing up. There was a long wide table down the middle of the room that must once have included an array of magazines and newspapers to be perused by the gentleman who gathered there. Lonely copies of the Boston Globe and the Boston Herald drew attention to advanced stages of declining fortune. The most memorable room at the T&R was a delightfully dark bar that was quite small. A traditional bar rail in one corner with a big personality behind it flanked by shelves of bottles. At the time, the club’s board of governors would learn of the parlous state of the club’s finances at a raucous Christmas dinner and solve the problem by passing the hat. As with the Harvard hockey and soccer teams, those who would have been present by tradition were being replaced by those who earned their way there based on skills, but at the T&R in the mid-60s, they weren’t being replaced yet.

had been the club’s court tennis champion 5 consecutive times and racquets champion 4 consecutive times, as well as the club’s president, bought the building and repurposed the unused space for commercial use while keeping the courts and a bar, though not the same one. The genteel decline was arrested with the help of Henry Wheelwright, a benefactor, Bill Minot, a skilled lawn tennis player, Dick Brickley and Oakley Brooks, who first played court tennis in Boston while at Harvard after a black-tie dinner when the attendees took off their shoes and jackets and flailed about, fortunately without injury. The experience made a sufficient impression for him to take the game up at Merton College Oxford and at Hampton Court during his post graduate years in England. It would be arrested yet again nearly 40 years later when the roof needed replacing. Jeremy Wintersteen and Suzy Schwartz led the effort with considerable charitable support from Dick Brickley (for a second time) and Temple Grassi. By then I was serving as Chairman of the United States Court Tennis Preservation Foundation, which helped with the charitable aspects of the project. It felt like sending a thank you note for the time I spent there. Joe Crane, a product of the Jimmy Dunn Falls Road pipeline of American tennis pros, was the Head Professional and he was delighted to fill afternoon court hours with Harvard boys and older members who had successfully reduced most unpleasant intrusions on their time. Alex Williams was a notable player of the period. He was novelist, John Marquand’s, editor at Little Brown, where it was alleged that he never used the men’s room. As the need arose, he would go to the Somerset Club on Beacon Hill. As a player, Williams achieved a state of almost complete immobility, but his hand eye coordination made up for it. He

described his serve as being like a war bond, because it paid dividends. Unsurprisingly, he favored doubles and would station himself at chase the last near the main wall. Williams was also the music critic for the Boston Globe and once famously filed a review of the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s regular Friday concert, even though the event had been canceled that day due to a snowstorm. He had heard the BSO do that program so many times that it seemed unnecessary, in light of the snow, to leave his house in Needham to hear it. At any given time in my four years of college, there was an evolving cadre of about half a dozen people who had played court tennis sometime in their lives. To these, we added members of the squash team, who were far more skilled, both at playing and at avoiding the attention of their squash coach, who would have been appalled at the idea of his players doing anything AUGUST 2020 111

other than what paid his salary. Day to day from September through May with breaks for exams and vacations, we would go from Cambridge to Boston for an afternoon and evening in this fading fin-de-siecle world. The traditional path for the Harvard boys who played court tennis in Boston was car, dressing room, court, dressing room, bar, car. I suspect time on the court exceeded time in the bar but not always and not by much. The most curious aspect of playing at the Tennis & Racquet Club was that I never saw a bill nor talked to anyone about the topic. The club welcomed the Harvard boys at no charge other than for drinks. Not the slightest attention was paid to the 21-year-old drinking age that prevailed in Massachusetts. I suspect my father paid for mine, but I have no idea who paid for the other boys. There were never any food charges because the ample supply of biting orange cheddar cheese and Ritz Crackers was free. Twins, Bobby and Billy Devens, were the older boys in my era. They were native Bostonians whose father, Charlie Devens, had pitched briefly and successfully for the New York Yankees. Billy was killed soon after in a car crash and Bobby went onto a career on Wall Street. Gaines Gwathmey was from Tuxedo and had played as a boy. 112 QUEST

He would not continue in the game, but his brother Archie did and has since become one of its leaders. Tony Adams and Kim Prince, both of who had gone to St. Paul’s, had the misfortune of dying young or they too might have gone on to be leaders of the game. They certainly seemed to be enjoying it at the time. Louis Bailey and Dinny Adams were among the dragooned squash players. Perhaps the most remarkable was Bob Bailey, another boy from Tuxedo who had played there. He had been in my class at St. Paul’s before taking a year off to work on Wall Street. He would be elected President (they have a different name for it, but I am not allowed to know it) of the Porcellian Club and appeared headed for a Wall Street career that, in due course, would have permitted the avoidance of unpleasant intrusions on his time. That was, of course, not what happened. No writer of any level of respectability would write that if it did. Bailey went on to become a Professor of Epidemiology at the University of Illinois, Chicago, an adjunct professor at UIC’s Department of Anthropology, a research associate at Chicago’s Field Museum and a visiting lecturer at the University of Nairobi.

He has spent much time in central Africa, first studying primates, then pygmies and finally the link between the transmission of HIV/AIDs and the absence of circumcision. Reportedly, he was near to a MacArthur genius grant but for concerns about the delicacy of the subject matter in which he made such an important contribution. But there was more to college court tennis than just the T&R. Spring break in that era was far less than it is today. Some people might have gone to beaches for drinks and debauchery, but it was far less of a thing than it is now. Instead, we would call ourselves the Harvard court tennis team and head for a Tuxedo Park where we would play against Yale, Princeton and sometimes the University of Pennsylvania. Harvard itself had not the smallest knowledge of any of this and would assuredly not have been supportive if they had. In Tuxedo, we would spend a weekend or more, staying at the club, playing matches against the others, eating and drinking. Presumably the teams from Yale and Princeton were assembled by court tennis playing fathers, who would gather their sons and friends for a few days of practice in New York before the tournament. Penn was easier thanks to the Racquet Club of Philadelphia, which provided similar hospitality to the college boys as did the T&R in Boston. The USCTA, then just over a decade old, supported this activity and told us to sign all Tuxedo Club chits “USCTA.” This generally worked fine until we had signed too many bar chits and the acronym would be distorted in scatological ways not at all suited to a family publication. Though eyebrows were lifted, this was not the cause of this intercollegiate event fading from view. The inability to avoid unpleasant intrusions on one’s life would spread from older Bostonians to college students. Jimmy Van Alen would appear each year to watch over the event and make sure we followed the newly developed Van Alen Simplified Scoring System that would revolutionize lawn tennis by adding the tie breaker. His format was not as well suited to court tennis: first because the serve is earned and not shared; and, second because of the hazards and chases. Nonetheless, we were his guinea pigs. Technically, the four years of tournaments in Tuxedo were not my first venture to that lovely club. My birthday is at the time of the Gold Racquet Championship in February, in which my father played every year. Being taken to Tuxedo was described as a birthday treat and it took many years—decades even—for me to realize that the trips had more to do with avoiding babysitters than birthdays. Following that era, intercollegiate court tennis faded as it was highly dependent on enthusiastic court tennis playing fathers having enthusiastic court tennis playing sons in different colleges at the same time. Mothers and daughters to fill those roles were far in the future. College sports also changed as an increasing percentage of admission decisions were based on athletic skills, and team success became part of college branding. Playing games purely for the fun of it went into decline as it was overtaken by grownups telling children how to play. ◆ AUGUST 2020 113

PARADISE IN PALM BEACH B Y B R O O K E K E L LY

PRIOR TO THE PANDEMIC, Palm Beach was already transitioning from a vacation destination to a year-round community due to the island’s security, unique beauty, unbeatable lifestyle, and tax benefits. Now, with more people working remotely for the long-term, real estate sales have skyrocketed as families continue to flee the Northeast in search of private homes with an emphasis on outdoor living. Palm Beach offers the cosmopolitan mindset of the Northeast with the added perks of beautiful year-round weather, outdoor activities, and views of the ocean and Intracoastal. While residents are considerate of each other’s safety and have adjusted to mask-wearing, frequent sanitizing, and physical distancing, the island’s lifestyle has been virtually unimpacted as most activities that have always attracted people in the past—from outdoor dining to golf and tennis—can still be enjoyed now through winter.

Q: Tell me any anything a potential buyer would want to know about the area. A: Palm Beach has become more of a year round community and has gotten significantly younger over the last number of years. In fact, Palm Beach Day Academy has seen a 100% increase in applicants since March 13th. The “Palm Beach Renaissance” has begun with new restaurants and stores following their clientele from the Northeast. Q: How has the coronavirus transformed Palm Beach? A: People have always come to Palm Beach for the security and quality of life. It is a “big-small, sophisticated” town! Now, Buyers are requesting more space. They are taking advantage of their homes and everything that surrounds them such as private pools, the beach, the Lake Trail, shopping, restaurants, easy access to the airport and our year round gorgeous weather. Q: Palm Beach real estate sales have reached an all-time high. Do you expect the momentum to continue into fall? A: Most definitely! There was a feeding frenzy that started in late April and hasn’t stopped! I expect the Fall/Winter to be very active based on what we are seeing this summer. The

wind is at the back of the Palm Beach real estate market. Q: What kind of properties have been most popular? A: The single family home market across all price points and in all locations in Palm Beach have been extremely popular for obvious reasons. Eventually there will be a domino effect and it will trickle down to the condo market as well. Who doesn’t want to own their own piece of paradise? Q: What advice do you have for buyers? And sellers? A: If you like a property, don’t wait to make an offer. The chances of it still being available a few weeks later is very slim. For sellers, price your property properly and don’t overshoot the market! Demand is high and inventory is low, but you still need to substantiate the value.

Q: How has the coronavirus transformed the market? A: I don’t think you would get the same answer twice no matter how many real estate agents you ask. It is the Wild West with very little rhyme nor reason. With COVID creating question marks everywhere, buyers and sellers are more determined about their price points. I’ve sold properties site unseen, which is nerve racking. I’ve also put in a number of offers based on video walkthroughs. What I can say is everything you would expect to be happening based on sales history is exactly what is not happening. Some sellers are willing to deeply discount their properties, whereas I’ve had others increase the asking price. From what we discussed, if you work hard and find the balance between minimal follow up and straight-up being annoying you can do very well.

Q: Tell me anything a potential buyer would want to know about the area. A: Now more than ever, the ability to have access to the outdoors makes Palm Beach extremely unique and special. Throughout the area, there are an abundance of restaurants with outdoor seating, golf courses, tennis, and water sports, from boating and fishing to surfing, paddle boarding, and kayaking, plus an arts-minded population in a small town community with a cosmopolitan mentality. For those looking for a sunny, warm, and inviting resort lifestyle with stunning sunsets and beautiful beaches, this is the place to reward yourself. Q: How has the coronavirus transformed the Palm Beach lifestyle? A: There really hasn’t been a major transformation in Palm Beach. This community has always been thoughtful of each others safety and well-being. While like around the country we are wearing masks and using more hand sanitizer than ever thought possible, we already dine outside year round, shop along the interesting mix of Worth Avenue, head to the beach and intracoastal for a run or to relax and golf all year. We have more outdoor seating at restaurants and our myriad of exceptional private

schools are seeing a dramatic increase in applications but otherwise, the lifestyle adjustment here has been relatively easy. Q: I know Palm Beach real estate sales have reached an all-time high. Do you expect the momentum to continue into the fall? A: Absolutely. People are making lifestyle choices right now and Palm Beach is coming out on top. From the Island of Palm Beach up the coast to Jupiter, buyers are finding everything from spacious condos to waterfront homes to gated golf estates—for the single buyer, the young family, sports enthusiast, multi-generational family, there is something for everyone in a multitude of price ranges and we have been working with all of them.

Q: How has the coronavirus transformed the Palm Beach? A: Well of course everyone is wearing a mask, and this being Palm Beach, some are designer! A little humor never hurts. On a more serious note, everyone is trying their best

to maintain safe standards, especially we Realtors, when working with people. Restaurants and hotels are now open, practicing safe standards. Luckily we have lots of restaurants with outdoor dining, which is lovely. With miles of private beaches, people have room to enjoy outdoor activities at the ocean and on the bike trail along the Intracoastal waterway. Unlike large cities, it is easier to safely reopen. Q: Do you expect the momentum to continue into the fall? A: Given what is happening now, during what is usually our ‘slower off season’, we are all very confident that this will be one of the busiest seasons ever. Already we are experiencing a lower inventory than normal due to all the people moving to Florida to escape the Northeast and high taxes.

Q: What would a potential buyer want to know about the area? A: Palm Beach has become a younger community, as many of the children who grew up here now have families of their own, and they have chosen to bring up their children here as well. As a result, there are many excellent private and public schools on and off the island. With the emphasis more than ever on quality of life, young families as well as retirees feel the Palm Beach area is the ideal place to live. Palm Beach is well known for its beautiful beaches and easy outdoor lifestyle, but it has a lot to offer in the cultural department as well, such as the world class Norton Museum of Art, the Kravis Center, which presents major productions, ballet, concerts, opera, etc. The Society of the Four Arts is a gold mine of educational programs, world famous lecturers and art exhibits. There is also an arts center for artist and sculptures, and other opportunities which make for an active stimulating life.

Q: Tell me any anything a potential buyer would want to know about the area. A: As in the past, and in today’s world, Palm Beach is one of the safest communities in the country. Palm Beach offers a unique lifestyle from the leisure of our uncrowded beaches, the peacefulness of the lake trail that runs along the Intracoastal Waterway, our new town recreation center and shopping along renowned Worth Avenue as well as the many superb restaurants around town. The Town also has access to cultural and entertainment venues such as The Kravis Center for the Performing Arts, The Norton Museum and The Society of the Four Arts. For families moving here with school aged children, there are many superior educational venues both in Palm Beach or within close proximity. Whatever lifestyle someone might be looking for can be found in Palm Beach. Q: How has the coronavirus transformed the Palm Beach lifestyle? A: These challenging times are everywhere however, the fabric of our community is one of coming together and a feeling of safety. Most people have had the opportunity of staying here longer, enjoying their home, taking walks along our lake trail or just taking in the beauty of the Town and the

many vias along Worth Avenue. Our local food merchants and restaurants have worked diligently to provide their best service. It is a time to appreciate where we live. Q: Do you expect the momentum to continue into the fall? A: I believe our market will continue to see a steady increase in transactions, especially in single family homes. In addition to the climate, proximity to the ocean, golf courses and the airport as well as other towns and lifestyles, Palm Beach is a place where the residents feel safe and secure, especially now in addition to knowing that our real estate market is strong and a great place to invest for their future. Palm Beach is a great home to come to whether a full time or seasonal resident. u

“WHY ARE THERE only about four hundred people in fashionable New York society,” boasted Ward McAllister, the lawyer and author of Society As I Have Found It. “If you go outside that number you strike people who are either not at ease in a ballroom or else make other people not as ease.” Such judgment inspired McAllister when in 1892 he set out for the first time to assemble a guest list for Mrs. William Astor. Accordingly, the list of invitees was set at 400. Twenty-five years ago, well into another time and century, McAllister’s legacy was reaffirmed and his wisdom validated when a list was born in a publication about New York society. With a number and tone harkening back to McAllister, the first ever Quest 400 was published in 1995 (see page 144). Lists, inevitably, define our culture—what’s hot, what’s not; who’s in, who’s out. From Vanity Fair’s 124 QUEST

“International Best-Dressed List” to People magazine’s “Most Beautiful People,” they are followed by all, insiders and outsiders alike. This list, the Quest 400, represents an alphabetical “Who’s Who” of New York society. This August, the Quest 400 continues our tradition of selecting citizens who exemplify our Country’s rediscovered social relevance through cultural, economic, and philanthropic endeavors. Appropriately, in the year of an ongoing global pandemic, we salute the Covid heroes in nine of Quest’s most loyal towns and cities who continue to tirelessly serve the needs of their communities with selfless dedication and courage. From Brooklyn to Bedford...Greenwich to Charleston...Locust Valley to Palm Beach...these are the genuine local heroes who fearlessly occupied the front lines during the Covid crisis.

Preventative Measures CLOCKWISE, FROM TOP LEFT: Smog masks became all the rage in London following the Great Smog of 1952, during which London was enveloped under a toxic mix of dense fog and sooty black smoke for four days. The episode of polluted air remains among the deadliest environmental disasters in recorded history; a man spraying the top of a bus with an anti-flu virus during the Spanish flu, also known as the 1918 flu pandemic; a health notice warning against influenza, from the Anti-Tuberculosis League, posted on the inside of a public transport vehicle (likely a train), 1918; Red Cross workers of Boston remove bundles of masks for American soldiers from a table where other women busily making masks during the 1918 influenza pandemic; a streetcar conductor in Seattle in 1918 refusing to allow passengers aboard who are not wearing masks; an isolation ward during the influenza epidemic at Naval Training Camp in Gulfport, Mississippi, 1918; a typist wears mask while working at her desk during the influenza epidemic, 1918; train conductors in New York, like many residents at the time, wore masks for protection against influenza; a poster of a nurse urging citizens to not to spit in order to prevent the spread of tuberculosis, circa 1910; city workers wearing masks following London’s Great Smog; women wearing masks during a flu epidemic in 1929; wearing of masks was compulsory in Sydney during the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic.


Locust Valley A group of friends who had grown out of the St. John’s Country Fair Outreach Program at St. John’s of Lattingtown decided on day two of the COVID lockdown that something must be done to help the community. Sadly, the Men’s Shelter and the Soup Kitchen was forced to shut down, and there was a big gap in services for the at-risk communities of Glen Cove and Locust Valley. So a group of women—from Christine Rice executive Director of the Glen Cove Senior Center to Christine Thomaides Director of Development at Grenville Baker Boys & Girls Club, to members of the vestry at St Johns among others—set out to take care of locals in need. This brave group partnered with local organizations to pack and deliver food, naming their group NOSH. The name was born from North Shore (“No” “Sh”) Neighbors Helping Neighbors in Need. Families pitched in with food packing, tracking down those who needed help, creating menus for the donated bags of food, drawing up maps for the drivers delivering food, and much more. NOSH was originally led by Courtney Callahan, director of outreach and children’s ministries at St. John’s and many of the loving families who are members of the church, including, Allison Aston, Veronica Beard, Sarah Blundin, Stephanie Clark, Beth Blake Day, Jenna Bush Hager, Cynthia Murray, Claudine Baldwin, Wibby Sevener, Virginia Apple, and more. Now NOSH takes care of 400+ families a week and has become a program of the North Shore Soup Kitchen, which means NOSH will continue as a full program.

Hamptons Beginning in March, many New York residents fled the city to shelter in the Hamptons, making a usually quiet time of year in the East End abnormally busy. Summeronly residents opened their homes early, and rental demand was higher than ever. Through this month, Suffolk County has seen more than 40,000 cases of COVID-19. During this time, essential workers—from the local fire departments to animal shelters—were appreciated more than ever. As the sole provider of emergency care on the South Fork, Stony Brook Southampton Hospital is constantly working with the New York Department of Health, and has set up a fund to acquire equipment and expand capacity as needed. Now, even busier in its high season, the Hamptons is regaining some normalcy, with beaches open and resorts and restaurants operating at limited capacities.

Charleston The Charleston Visitors Bureau issued daily updates to keep business owners, residents, and visitors informed on the state of Charleston’s response. These updates included information on businesses that were operational and policy changes on the state or local level. The Visitor’s Bureau also provided masks and hand sanitizer to local businesses to keep employees and clients protected. Our local hospital The Medical University of South Carolina developed systems to share with the state and other hospitals to aid in responding to COVID, including 3D print patterns for masks and splash shields and testing systems. They also opened mobile testing centers and offered virtual care appointments to screen those who believed they may have been exposed to the virus. Businesses in Charleston stepped up to the challenge and assisted the government and medical facilities in helping support the community. Many of our local breweries and distilleries retrofitted their facilities to produce hand sanitizer free of charge for the public. Conservation group GrowFoodCarolina working with local farmers and distributors to increase the supply chain of local produce and also deliver fresh produce to food banks and neighborhoods in need. Many locally-owned restaurants offering take-out added an option to “buy a healthcare worker a meal” when ordering. Fitness studios throughout Charleston offered remote classes to keep members engaged. Schools both public and private were collaborating on how best to get learning material to students. Throughout the county programs were quickly implemented to make sure students who depend on going to school for meals still received breakfast and lunch even though the schools were closed. —Handsome Properties

Brooklyn In April, the Debra and Leon Black family launched their NYC Healthcare Heroes program with an inaugural event at Coney Island Hospital, featuring a round of applause for hospital staff and speeches from Mayor Bill de Blasio, Melissa Schwartz of Aramark, Robin Hood’s Wes Moore, and more. The $20 million commitment to deliver thousands of bags of food and supplies to emergency workers was announced in partnership with Aramark. Together, they worked to alleviate the burden of more than 10,000 New York City healthcare professionals who were unable to buy basics as the worked longer hours to fight the coronavirus.

Greenwich With frontline medical staff still working around the clock due to the coronavirus crisis, volunteer firefighters from across the entire town decided to dish up a week’s worth of meals for their fellow first responders. Representatives from Greenwich’s volunteer fire companies banded together to pay for and deliver lunch all week to Greenwich Hospital’s doctors, nurses and staff. On May 27, they were joined by Gov. Ned Lamont, First Selectman Fred Camillo, and state Rep. Stephen Meskers at the hospital (photo lower right-hand corner). June 30 was officially declared Bobby Walker Jr. Day by First Selectman Fred Camillo. Ryan Fazio, Candidate for state Senate for Greenwich, Stamford, and New Canaan, delivered masks to nursing homes and friends. He had a great time meeting up with his friend Francky Trofort for a workout and bringing masks to Francky’s mentees. Neighbor to Neighbor, a local food pantry, responded to the increased need for food by temporarily moving their distribution to Greenwich’s Teen Center. As depicted in the mid-lower right-hand photo, groceries are packed in bags for delivery to clients, lined up by delivery zone, and then retrieved by bus drivers Monday– Friday. Anticipating the surge in the need for food, Icy Frantz offered to connect Neighbor to Neighbor with Kyle Silver, the Executive Director and CEO of Arch Street Teen Center (Arch Street Teen Center is depicted at night in the upper left-hand corner). “Arch Street cannot do what it normally does—to provide a safe haven and a social outlet for teens,” Mrs. Frantz said in March, adding gratitude to Mr. Silver. “I am glad the space can be repurposed to meet the needs at this time.”

Manhattan Since the coronavirus reached New York City, people all over Manhattan have come together to celebrate the dedicated essential workers. Crowds of nurses and firemen encouraged each other in the streets, and each evening residents cheered on frontline heroes from their windows. Glimmers of hope included the USNS Comfort ship’s arrival in New York City late March to assist hospitals in the fight, and the Blue Angels that flew over the city to honor frontline workers. Reminders of the importance of working together can be seen all over, from messages on boulevards to the masks on iconic monuments like the Wall Street bull. Everyone united to flatten the curve. #NYTough.

Queens One of the most hard-hit boroughs of the city, Queens and its hospitals like Flushing Medical Center and Elmhurst underwent dramatic transformation to accommodate the influx in patients and residents were certainly appreciative. A giant “Thank You” sign could be seen outside Elmhurst hospital in oversized letters, while artist Jorge Rodriguez Gerada crafted a massive mural in the Queens Museum parking lot as a tribute to frontline workers. Over Easter weekend, members of the Port Authority Police Department were seen delivering treats to the staff at Elmhurst Hospital and, that same month, Martha’s Country Bakery in Astoria made its first delivery to Mount Sinai Queens after pledging 20,000 baked goods for healthcare workers. Nurses and doctors at Flushing Medical cheered in the halls as they discharged the 1,000th patient to have recovered from COVID-19.

Palm Beach Boys & Girls Clubs of Palm Beach County jumped into action as soon as the pandemic started impacting Club families. Food security was a top concern as many parents lost their jobs. So far, the Clubs have been able to supply half a million meals to children throughout Palm Beach County with our Grab and Go meal program. Also, more than 55 thousand Club family members have received a week’s worth of groceries since March through the Farm to Family Program. President and CEO Jaene Mirando along with Margaret Duriez, Debbie Thomas, Regina Thompson, Ashley Pierre, and Barbara Dormand are all pictured here helping hand out groceries. Said board member Reid Boren, “We do whatever it takes to make sure our Club families stay healthy. By providing organic, high-quality food, we helped to boost Club members’ immune systems. As the need increased in our community, the Clubs ramped up their efforts, and almost overnight, our 13 Clubs transitioned to become a major food distributor for all of Palm Beach County.” He continued, adding: “Our Farm to Family program not only provides a week’s worth of farm-fresh vegetables, protein and dry goods to our Club Families, but it also helps with the economic recovery in Palm Beach County. As traditional markets closed because of the pandemic, our Farm to Family program was able to help keep 35 local farms and businesses economically afloat by buying their produce and dry goods and distributing it where it was needed most.”

Bedford Founded in 2014, Endeavor is located on a 14-acre farm in Bedford Corners, New York, and provides equineassisted activities and therapies with the vision to empower those in need through the healing potential of the horse. Enrolling over 500 individuals annually, Endeavor provides recreational and clinical services to children and adults with special needs, at-risk youth, and veterans and active duty military. With a herd of 12 horses, a team of highly trained therapeutic riding instructors and clinicians, and over 100 volunteers Endeavor is able to offer a breadth of highly customized programs that support positive physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development. And it’s a lot of fun! In 2020, Endeavor moved to their forever home in beautiful Bedford Corners. After transitioning to an online learning platform for COVID-19, programs just recently opened back at the farm and quickly filled to capacity. Endeavor is looking forward to thoughtfully growing their enrollment in the new facility to offer programs to more individuals in need. As one parent shared, “Endeavor has given my son a place to feel happy, comfortable, and accepted. For the first time, he looks forward to participating, engaging, and learning. He feels connected and successful at something. As a mother, watching the anxiety and self-doubt melt away from my son as he walks into Endeavor, has been an indescribable feeling. We are so grateful.�

LOOK WHO’S TALKIN’ IN THE (MOSTLY) good old days, being a social photographer and going to benefits and parties like the ones shown here, was much more fun and interesting. There were many fewer photographers covering New York “society” and, as I was lucky enough to cover parties for prestigious publications like Vogue, The New York Times, WWD and Town & Country, I was one of the few granted almost unlimited inside access to the best events in town. Often only Bill Cunningham and I were invited inside. Also in those days, most partygoers were wearing their own clothes and went out to support their charities, of course, but also congregate with their friends. Although the guests were usually aware of Bill and me, they went about enjoying the party without much of an eye on us. So we were able to discreetly take candid unposed photos. I 148 QUEST

was often told “I didn’t even know you were there,” a great compliment to me. Things changed when corporate sponsorship became usual. Of course, much more money was raised, but the sponsors wanted more publicity, which meant more celebrities, more photographers, more self conscious posing, hand on hip, in borrowed clothes. Looking at these pictures makes me smile, remembering beautiful, glamorous, and funny moments in my career. Today, thinking about our world and walking on Madison Avenue, the windows of elaborate ball gowns and jewel studded 4” stilettos seem somehow beside the point. I can’t imagine what “society” will be like in the future. But, to borrow a phrase, I am glad I was there, in the rooms where it happened! u

SNAPSHOT

NEWPORT AND NEW YORK lost one of their most beloved citizens when Howard Cushing passed away peacefully on July 5, at the age of 89. A longtime investment advisor at White Weld and his own firm, Howard was born in New York and attended Saint Bernard’s and Groton. At Harvard he was a decorated oarsman and midshipman at ROTC. Commissioned upon graduation, he served as an officer aboard destroyers in the South China Sea. He remained a supporter of the Naval War College, the Military and a proud patriot ever after. Howard was handsome, kind, devoted to his large family and always concerned for others. He was an enthusiastic sportsman, at the helm of his lobster boat the “Blue Dolphin,” rooting for the football Giants in good times and bad, on the squash doubles or tennis courts. I changed in the alcove next to his at the Racquet Club for decades, enjoying friendly banter and fierce competition, always followed afterwards by one of Bill Fleming’s signature Bloody Bulls in the Bar below. Pierce MacGuire remembers winning the decisive match two years running with Howard as his partner in the Bigelow Cup, an inter-club competition. “Howard was in his late sixties and by far the oldest player. He was thrilled to be asked, and when late in the matches it became clear we had a chance to upset the other team, the adoring gallery exploded in appreciation, and in response Howard would pump both his arms over his shoul160 QUEST

ders.” The Club president Morris Clothier said, “He served on the board for forty-nine years and was a member for sixty-two. He was beloved by all and will be missed.” Added Alexander von Auersperg, “For those of us who had the great privilege to know Howard, Newport and Baileys Beach will never be the same without him.” Like his father before him, Howard was also a longtime president of the Spouting Rock Beach Association, serving from 2002–2018, and I have fond memories of him giving an approving wink when I joined Nora and him with a pretty girl on the dance floor there. Also like his father, Howard was a longtime governor of The Brook, so perhaps the last word is best left to its president, Michael J. Meehan. “One of my happiest memories is taking Howard and young Howard to Henley and watching the races with them on the Committee Boat. Howard was everything I always wanted to be.” An enviable epitaph, and a sentiment shared by many whom Howard Cushing has left behind. —Audax From left: Howard Cushing surfing at Bailey’s Beach in the 1960s; Howard as the longtime president of the Spouting Rock Beach Association; Howard and Nora Cushing with their sons, Howard III and Jamie, at their home in Newport, Rhode Island.
