I don't think we've crossed blades. I haven't done much as I said two seasons ago I hit the Div 1 NAC's but and one Vet NAC but not much else. When our club in Chambersburg closed in April 2007 I didn't feel like doing too much. I still try and help Terrie out- I understand what you mean about the young guns, they do seem to be more aggressive against the older fencers- I made that mistake in my first vet event- then I remembered - after getting my butt kicked- most vets have been around long enough to know how to handle the aggressive get around that stuff- It's been nice chatting with you- I hope we do get a chance to fence in the near future.- Dave

I don't think we have fenced - my last name is Segal. Maybe you remember something I don't. I do not fence as many mixed events as I have in the past. Since becoming a cadet-vet I find myself becoming less and less thrilled about the possibility of being damaged by male epee fencers - mostly the young ones who don't know their own strength yet - who feel like they have something prove against the old lady with the french grip.

I have fenced Terri - she has visited FAP now and again. Good fencer, I enjoy when she comes to play with us. I don't know many of the local saber fencers.

I'm from Chambersburg, you're probably familiar with a few people I fence with, Tony Alvarez- sabre, Terrie Doom - epee. I haven't competed much in the past few years- hopefully that will change this year. Coletta is the last name- have we crossed blades before?

Thanks - when I saw the quote I cracked up. Where in PA? I'm in Philadelphia at FAP.
