Chuck Scarborough,
Thanks for taking a look at the sport of fencing. It is for all ages. 9-10 and up to over 70+.(who knows) You can begin at any age.(I’m 69 and a grandmother, Had 10 lessons and loved the activity, both physical and mental). My daughter and granddaughter are fencers. Everyone isn’t an electric Olympic competitor. There is another group of club sports fencers that just enjoy the sport for all as an activity. Have you seen information about wheelchair fencing?
I wish Sue Simmons would have sign up for an event. She is the best!!!!
Janice is always delightful. I am sure she will be as accomplished at gymnastics as she is at everything else.
I wish all of you guys the best. I watch all of you every single day. You will be fine Chuck!! I want a Gold medal from all of you including Chuck. LOL
Soror Janice,
Congratulations on stepping up to the 2008 Olympic Challenge and blazing new “balance beams”! I am sure that in honor of our AKA Centennial you are going to give an Extra Special Performance! We just continue to make history…
Continued success and be safe,
Soror Heather James
