Didn't know that about Stacy. But like I said, I didn't know her at all.
I remember fencing pentathletes. Stro used to say 'let 'em have the first touch. that's all they're good for. but don't let them have anymore.'
I also remember he tearing up Schifrin. He always used to tell me 'go on top' because it was a better way to catch the elbow. But I'm short for an epeeist, so it was hard for me to get on top. So he said 'Pull his guard down. Here, I'll show ya. Peter! Get over here. Fence!' Peter was like 'uh oh. what did you guys get me into?' This was in front of the whole epee squad. Stro demonstrated drawing Peter's guard down for the first touch or so, but then it just degenerated into a bout where Stro was just picking Peter apart for sport. After a few more touches, they stopped, saluted and laughed. Then Stro came back to us, remembering that he was supposed to be teaching us something. 'See? I did it. Not so hard.' End of lesson.
