We hear Erin Davis is Erin Davis again... No longer Erin Davis-Walsh… and she’s been spending some time in Europe! Enough said.

We were delighted to hear that indomitable force of polo,

Papa Kuhn , is doing well and is itching to get back to Florida to see all of his polo friends. Papa, you are the best!

While Jerry Spitler hasn’t played in 5 years (after he spent one year trying to play after he lost his eye and broke his neck) he’s defnitely still into horses, having moved back to Aiken, and taken up foxhunting and just a little stick and ball stuff (or so he says) while keeping company with

Samantha Charles . Look for this dynamic duo beside or on the felds in Florida, Aiken and the slopes of Colorado.

And speaking of Colorado, congratulations to Nick Cifuni , who is engaged to longtime girlfriend Libby Keating. We want photos of the wedding!
