Hello from NW Indiana

[keeper of the swords]

Hello - I have been involved in fencing for about a year- my son's High School started a fencing club last year; I volunteered to help maintain the equipment. (later I found out that you get a neat name- "Armorer"). I've even bought some gear to try for myself. We've since joined USFA; my 5th grader has his own foil and looks forward to club/HS activity as well. I enjoy the forum (especially the director's "quotes" thread...)

in ferrum veritas-

On the off hand chance that you care, it's 'in ferro veritas.' 'In ferrum veritas' would mean something closer to 'truth against the blade.' ('in' + the accusative = 'in to' or 'against')

Sorry if I butchered the Latin-- used periodic table name for iron.

I'm from Lafayette and I've got close friends up in Crown Point. Where abouts is this new high school club?

[keropie]

No worries about the Latin After all, it wasn't my least favorite translation mistake...

carpe diem ><

carpe diem <> sieze the day...

carpe diem = ....














pluck the day. Entirely different feel. Think more along the lines of 'take time to smell the roses.' Alas.
