HAWAII
Gail Potter, former fencing professional at Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri, writes that he arrived in Hawaii on September 7th and had established a fencing school by September 20th. His salle is on the beach at Waikiki, overlooking the Pacific, with a roof solarium for day and night fencing under the stars. Among his students are all the races resident in Hawaii from ages of 10 to 70. He has attracted a group of experienced fencers from the mainland and the army posts as well as many who are studying fencing for the first time. He reports several groups of student fencers training for winter competition. He is teaching at no schools, preferring to confine his efforts solely to free-lancing. Despite the warm climate, Mr. Potter reports that Hawaii likes fencing. More than 10,000 people attended fencing exhibitions given by him in the last two weeks of October.
At his request we list his address as 1244 Kapiolani Blvd., Honolulu, “so a friend or two may send me some news.”
