I started fencing in college when it was offered as an option for the Phys. Ed. requirement my junior year. Loved it immediately! I already played varsity volleyball and softball, so this was a nice chance to learn a one-on-one sport.

I took classes both Junior and Senior years. After college, I concentrated on career and family. This fall, a class came around for adults looking to fence for fun. Hooked again! Now I am part of a fencing club and re-learning everything. I hope to attain a level of decency where I can compete and get rated. My body has aged, but I've kept my competetive drive!

Welcome to the enlarging group of newbies!
