| We will be there with bright ribbons on. It should be a great event.
Our fencers are not looking forward to the drive but they are all interested in the event and we loved fencing your fencers last year at the Crown of Texas.
I think everyone should look into attending this great new event.
Sorry I have not been on much recently and thank for teh "lplug" in the first post.... | |

Well, actually, there's 3 of them in Phoenix like that. The one you want will be feigning rabies from time to time, and speaking Gypsy curses in heavily accented Klingon in an attempt to psych out his opponents, then phoning the USFA after each bout to ask when his Veteran Athelete Award check is being mailed.
Find THAT guy, and you've uncovered Inq!

I'm sure Donald and D'artagnot know who I mean!! | |

| I think you should do it for all the women events also. You might even do it if they get a B. I checked the pre-registration.
