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.
