Richard “Dick” Berry is celebrating his 90th birthday and wishes to invite everybody to the celebration!!
Mr. Berry started fencing at the age of 16. He won two individual national championships, was on three gold medal teams and, unfortunately, had to decline the 1960 Olympic Games due to financial considerations. He was accepted to the USA Fencing Hall of Fame last year, but is still awaiting his induction ceremony.
After his competitive career, he wanted to give back to the sport and has offered fencing lessons as a volunteer coach for several decades. He especially enjoys coaching parents of fencers as his own parents never understood the sport and only ever saw one of his competitions. As he turns ninety, he still fences and coaches two to three days per week and credits fencing with maintaining his long, active life.
Please join us in wishing him a happy birthday to eat, drink and fence!!
