Well, it turns out that Daniel Branda from Ball4NY, who sent me an email yesterday asking me to remove my post “Swinging Polo Mallets with Tareq and Michaele Salahi” wasn’t some legal sharpshooter–as demonstrated by the absence of any identifiable legal training or experience on Mr. Branda’s LinkedIn profile.

Lezlie Hiner (photographed at left speaking at The Courage Cup’s Courage & Hope Gala in 2008) embodies “passionate living”. She has taken polo, the ”sport of kings,” to help Philadelphia at-risk youth stay in school. Many would ask, “Why polo?” Goodness knows, I’ve been asked that question numerous times over the years [...]
