[quote=Anonymous]We know 3 families in our n-hood who belong to Chevy (as the natives call it).  All are old money -- meaning that at least one spouse  comes from inherited money, though they're not rolling in it.  Couple #1 are baby-boomers who grew up in other parts of the country, so they didn't inherit their membership, but I'd be willing to bet cash money that their families belonged to country clubs while they were growing up.  They're pleasant, well-educated, well-traveled, not insular and moderately liberal.  If asked, they'd probably say they bought into Chevy b/c that's what they grew up with and they both play golf.  Couple #2 are in their 40s, and are pretty much a younger version of Couple #1, but in addition to playing golf, their kids play hockey and thus, they use the skating rink @ CCC as well as the golf course.  Couple #3 are a slight variation -- husband grew up here, wife is from flyoverland and is a social-climber, name-dropper type; they're Republicans and seem to be living out some '50s fantasy right out of MadMen, Revolution Road, etc.       [/quote]
