More fencing in the media

Parade Magazine (7/18/04)

Nice article in the freebie magazine that accompanies the Sunday paper.

The article focuses on Carlton Henry and how fencing helped him escape the gang scene in New York.

Yep--and I call dibs! I started another thread about this last week! Pretty cool to get good publicity in a major publication like Parade.

The story will go online in their archive on July 26. parade.com In the meantime, they have a Weblinks feature which provides links to the Peter Westbrook Foundation and USFA. www.parade.com/weblinks/index.html

Has anyone seen the Visa commercial? Basically goes like this... Usa our card and we will make sure the olympians have the equipment they need to compete. It shows a boxer without gloves, a sprinter without shoes and an epee fencer without an epee. He basically stands there while his opponent hits him over and over and the box is heard in the background. He is otherwise completely dressed, mask stickers, country armband and all.

Very funny.
