Where in Illinois? I used to fence at the Rockford Fencing Club in the early 90's from time to time. | |

| Foilists have no brains to damage, hence their fallacious belief in the superiority of foil. 
Get out while you can, Liana!

| Hi! This is a fun place. Hardly any people to ignore, most everyone is fun and cool. We all make fun of each other's weapons, nobody means it. I contribute pretty much only in the water cooler (because I have nothing useful to say when it comes to actual fencing, because I'm terrible). Others can be found in all the forums... fora... forests... whatever. Have fun here!
