DIRECTORY OF AMERICAN FENCING PROFESSIONALS
In publishing the Directory of Professionals in our last issue we realized that it would be necessary to make many changes in the names listed at that time. In fact, we requested the help of our subscribers in making suggestions in this regard. We were surprised to receive as few letters as we did, for after all, this was the first list of its kind ever published, and subject to many errors of both commission and omission.
Some of the errors of our list deserve special apology. Of these the first that come to mind were the omission of the names of Douglas P. Boyea and Maxwell Garrett. We were especially embarrassed about this for these men were mentioned as professionals in other pages of the same issue. Apparently one Riposte page doesn’t know what the other pages are doing.
Our most grievous fault was the inclusion of many amateur coaches as professionals. In some cases our listing has proved embarrassing to these amateurs in entering competitions. We have apologized in personal letters to several of these men and trust that all fencers will take the pains to delete their names, as requested, from the December listing.
We submit the following changes to our former list:
