G. H. (Pete) BostwickJust at presstime the Rambler learned of the death of G. H. (Pete) Bostwick, captain of the Aiken Polo team and a mainstay of the sport for more than 50 years. It is reported he died between chukkers at a Florida match, which is the way he would have wanted to go.Bostwick played on six U. S. Championship teams which competed in England and the Argentine, as well as in this country. In the 1930s he was the leading amateur steeplechase rider in both England and America.He was a sportsman in the best tradition, putting his mind and his heart into anything he undertook. He has trained his sons, Charlie and Ricky, now rising polo stars, in the same tradition. He will be sadly missed not only by the Aiken community, but internationally.
