THANKS FOR THE BIS

Venues do not get anymore genteel than the Ladies Kennel Association Of America in Oyster Bay NY. For those of you not familiar with the history of Long Island, Oyster Bay is part of the fabled “Gold Coast”, home to the Astors, the Vanderbilts, and a President named Roosevelt (no, not that one.. the fun one)
