Rufus,
Forgot to respond to you as well. It is indeed good to see a fellow fencer out there. While not a well known sport, there are a ton of fencers out there. In high school, I think they only had foil so that's what I did for three seasons.
In some ways, I wish I would have stuck with fencing a little more. After high school, I took to basketball and have stayed with it since. I play a little golf and badminton along the way.
I still have my old fencing equipment that I purchased back in high school (better than using the school provided stuff). I pulled out the foil a few years back and put on my Zorro costume for Halloween.
