Quote of the Day

I never felt any harassment. Once, while talking to Vince Tartaglia (Rombout's huntsman during the era of MFH Betty Davis), I said that I thought some would have antipathy for me as the only woman huntsman. He said, "Oh, no, you are a huntsman!" That was the greatest thing anyone could say to me.
