Last weekend, I took Rob to a small Fencing Tournament in Montclair, NJ sponsored by Lilov Fencing Academy. There were 16 fencers and it was rated as a D1 Tournament. Rob finished 7th out of 16. Pretty good, especially for someone who hasn't really done anything fencing related since March. The interesting thing about this tournament was that it was held in the basement gym of a school in Montclair that was stuck in the middle of million dollar Tudor Mansions. The gym itself reminded Rob and me of the Baptist Conference Center where he took soccer lessons with Heinz. Coach Lilov was a smaller, Russian version of Heinz.
We will probably set something up beginning in December at Medeo Fencing. Either private lessons or group lessons or both. The High School season starts after Thanksgiving with a new coach. Hopefully, Rob will make the team. Last year, he was named Most Improved Male Fencer.
