On August 2nd 1998 the fencing community lost a great friend. During a summer competition in New Hope at the Bucks County Academy of Fencing, Bob Flynn suddenly passed away in the middle of an epee bout. His dedication to and love of fencing was an inspiration to three generations of fencers. This tournament is dedicated to his memory & contributions to the sport.
