The 2000 Illinois Divisional
March 11, 2000 in Gages Lake, Illinois

IFC members won everything they entered.  Kristin Rill won Women's Open Sabre.   Chris Karll won Men's Open Sabre.  Peter McCann won Men's Open Epee.  But who took second place?  Why, it was Bob Baldwin (Baldwinasaurus).  63 years old and still kickin' butt.
