Passing along some information that was posted on the Pacific Coast Section web site (at http://www.pcsfencing.com/news/csuf.html) -thought it was worth spreading the word about more widely:

-----

Please support the fencing team at California State University, Fullerton

Fencers and supporters of fencing,

The NCAA fencing program at California State University Fullerton is in a position to come under a review due to the planned retirement of Hall of Fame fencing master and coach Heizaburo Okawa at the end of the 2005-2006 season. CSU Fullerton has been a strong supporter of fencing and has fielded a NCAA fencing team continuously since at least the early 1970s. Any faltering of that support would be a huge loss, not only for the sake of tradition, but much more because fencing is in a period of unprecedented growth and success.

If you want to make your feelings on this subject known please do so!

Preferably mail letters to:

Brian Quinn
Director of Athletics
C.S.U. Fullerton.
P. O. Box 6810
Fullerton, CA 92834

Alternately you may email Mr. Quinn. (bquinn@fullerton.edu)
