MUFG,

Gary is trying to get these events for the Hbg DIV. It is a letter for
Ed, but it also contains dates of events that may be of interest.
I would love to do some Double Epee, but my partner in crime is
currently out of state, so I am looking for some other Epee fencer
that would like to go to events like this...

3/6/05- Double Fence

Cheers!
CLF

Ed,
11/10/04

First, I want to apologize for the fact that I am very angry and you may
have had some calamity befall you recently.
I have contacted you numerous times by telephone, e-mail and through
third parties regarding a schedule I sent you October 25 th. You have
made no response.

I need to schedule the VA and do not have the luxury of my own place
that I may schedule on a whim. My original request is:

12/12/04- Beginner Foil (One year or less experience.)
1/30/05- Open Epee- ( I understand an Open Foil is scheduled for
Dickinson AFTER I contacted you by e-mail )
3/6/05- Double Fence ( Equipment and training provided, go to
website click on photos for Double Fence.)
4/10/05- Jack Hespenhide Foil ( Reproduction daggers to top eight
finishers. $15 entry fee)
5/22/05- Tom Dann Epee (10AM start) ( $20 entry fee. Reproduction
Swords to top eight finishers, two others awarded by lottery.)
6/26/05- Rob Roy One Touch Tournament ( Reproduction Swords to top
eight finishers, two others awarded by lottery.)

All tournaments scheduled for the Lebanon VA Hospital gym , building
#24, check in 11:30 AM- Fencing starts at Noon.
website- www.leby-utown.com <http://www.leby-utown.com> directions
available on site.

I sent you these on October 25 at 1:37 PM. I have contacted you through
voice mail and e-mail on 10- 12 occasions with no response. If there are
personal circumstances I fully understand, but I need to be notified of
such a situation so I can stop sending these e-mails and making calls.

Regarding your other request, as I told you on the phone over a month
ago, I will not play the role of intermediary to the former chair to
regain equipment. While I agree the division needs the equipment, you
are asking me to overstep my boundaries in making this request, while
this function clearly falls within your duties as chair. You must build
the bridges with this faction of the division, not me. "Please keep your
house clean and I will do so with mine."

If no contact is initiated by you I will schedule these tournaments
and notify fencers.
