NEW YORK STATE
Three fencers, Valerian Lada-Mocarski, Joseph M. Donovan, and Ralph E. Marson, participating in military training in the Business and Professional Men’s Special Course in the 1st Plattsburg 1940 Regiment, took the opportunity by the horns and presented their military-minded companions with a fencing exhibition at the Plattsburg camp on August 1st. With Mr. Lada-Mocarski acting as Master of Ceremonies the exhibition was presented in military style with crispness and fast variety. A foil and sabre lesson was presented and bouts were conducted in all three weapons among the three exhibitors.
The exhibition was enthusiastically received by the regiment. Among the guests were General Hugh A. Drum, Commander of the 2nd Corps Area, Colonel James I. Muir, Commander of the 26th Infantry, Lt. Colonel Chamberlain, Major Blakeney, Major Jacobs, Major Buie, and their wives and guests.
