        <title>William and Mary Accident</title>
        <description>The William and Mary fencing team was traveling to Haverford PA this weekend to compete in our 2nd of 3 MACFA team events. We were traveling in two vehicles, a van and a car, when the car was involved in a crash on I-95.  It brings us great sadness to report that our longtime coach, Pete Conomikes, died in the crash. Three fencers from the team were also in the car and are being treated at Medical College of Virginia in Richmond. Their injuries range from minor to critical.  We mourn the loss of our coach and are hopeful that our teammates will make a complete recovery.  Pete has been an amazing influence on so many in the fencing community. We ask that you keep those involved in the crash and their families in your thoughts and prayers over the next several days.</description>

        <title>Privacy Protection</title>
        <description>Your birth-year is important to us, as is your privacy.  Without your birth-year we don&apos;t know who&apos;s a junior, who&apos;s a veteran, and who&apos;s too young to compete in Senior events.  The latest version of Fencing Time included that information in its results format, which gets published directly on the website.  I have redacted all the birth-years from those files, so your age can remain unguessable.</description>

        <title>Created page for new JMU venue</title>
        <description>JMU has a new venue: Memorial Hall.  We will be in there for the Ratings Riot on February 25-26.  It should have many fine features and be a great place for us to fence!  I added links to it from the tournament page and the schedule.</description>

        <title>Re-sourced blog</title>
        <description>Based site blog on RSS logfile instead of hand-writing it.  You can easily see the difference. Unfortunately there is too much in the old format for me to go re-write into the new log.</description>
