Wow...and those sword racks look surprisingly simple in construction- I've always wanted one rather than putting them up on a wall.

Great event, Ed.  Really nice pics, looks like you had a wonderful time.  I met Bill G at VAF (unfortunately have not been able to get my schedule and their classes to align) and he as very generous with his time - nice to see him in action.
Among the greatest evils we face are those which lie within.

Not sure if the hot-linking will work, but the official WMAW photography is up.

Some of my free-fencing was captured here:  (and you can barely see my garter right behind my left knee)

Most of my opponents have been wearing green lately. It's a conspiracy, I tell you! :)
