First, Erica did indeed make the National team. That qualifies her for the Vet Pan American games in a couple of weeks in St. Thomas and the Vet World Championships in Slovenia in October.
Today, Robert Thomas fenced the first of his three events, the Vet 40-49 epee. He had a decent first round and won his first DE to end up 14th out of the 33 fencers. Some other North Carolina results of note – Sean Bates of Queen City won the Men’s Vet 40-49 sabre and Carl Badger of Mid-South tied for 3rd in the 60-69 Vet men’s sabre.
Thanks to Allison Brown, Erik Graf, Josh and Jesse Harvey, as well as Herman, Isaac, and Bobby the dark blue is finished. I think we are good for tomorrow and putting the lacquer down. However if you want to jump in, the second shift will be working starting about 5 pm.
Then we will let it sit and Saturday will be putting all of the furniture back out, rehanging the overheads, reattaching the sword holders, and maybe a little fencing.
Of course, after all this work has been put in, we do expect people to clean up after themselves and help keep the floor as pristine as possible.
