Charlie Selberg - Dr. Ivor Yeti - 04-10-2012
Charles Selberg, one of the great West Coast fencing masters, died a couple weeks ago. He was the guy responsible for UC Santa Cruz's rep for quality fencers.
I attended one of his weekend clinics and still use his "phases of learning" when talking about teaching with new coaches. Haggis Killer and I almost got frost bite in his secret mountain fortress, but that is a long story.
RIP, Charlie -- they definitely don't make 'em like you any more.

It was a fencing camp at SJSU in the early 80s that inspired me to go to SJSU to fence. The camp was led by Charlie and Stro. Later, when I was at UCSC, flailing at my aborted PhD attempt, Charlie was good enough to help me out by participating in my experiment. I never got to know him that well, as I didn't fence at UCSC, but he was always friendly and supportive.
