Les was a Huntsman to the Greenspring Valley Hounds for 35 seasons. He came to Greenspring in 1946, after World War II, and retired in 1981 after a long and distinguished career.
Les had a special way with his hounds, which made him a brilliant huntsman. He was very much a true hound man and horseman.

His horn, his voice, and the cry of his hounds will always be remembered by those who followed him.
