| Curacao Vet tournament
OK, I completely forgot, and I haven't seen anything resembling a report, much less results.
Did anyone go?

| Several Americans did win medals. I don't think they got their expected 200 International fencers. http://www.coupecuracao.com/results2008.html

| Thanks, Bill.
Oddly, the "Results" link takes me to the entry form for the tournament.

| That much I saw. I was kind of hoping for the complete results, though...

Tom and Pat Lutton are lovely people, I was honored to attend their wedding. Last I heard Pat was unrated in Epee and an E in Foil. Jim Adams is almost 50 plus 20. I'm not saying they couldn't be successful, rather that a lot of likely competitors were not there.
I suspect an additional incentive for Pat and Tom to be there was another opportunity to "dance the taango".

At first glance I thought it must be a mistake. Anyone know how many fencers there were?

| I heard the events were quite small (ie. 6 in women's epee?). However, I also heard the whole thing was WONDERFUL. A ton of fun, incredibly nice people, beautiful place, etc. More like a great vacation with some fencing. However, I hope they do it again next year and that I am able to go. Hopefully, the second year more people will attend. | |

Looking at the lists he is an A07? but she is a "E-06" and she took the silver. Well congratulations to her. I'll bet they had fun.
Easier to ask Jim Adams.

| Detailed description of results at: http://www.usaveteransfencing.org/news.htm
Looks like 12 US fencers and 7 others. A wonderful time was had by all.
