"Herb brings with him a wealth of experience, seemingly boundless patience and a genuine love of fencing," says student Scott Quade.

Quade, an English teacher at Medina High School, is now making his own name in the world of fencing.
This past summer, Quade ventured to Austin, Texas, to compete in the Division III, United States Fencing Association (USFA) Summer National Finals.
When Quade left Medina, he was ranked 105th in the nation.When he returned home, he was ranked 53rd.

Quade was only eliminated from competition by the eventual Division III champion.This month, Quade will compete in a major USFA meet, the North American Cup in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Much credit must go to Quade's distinguished coach who, says Quade, brings enormous talent dignity to the fencing.
"On his shoulders, he carries the honor and nobility that define this sport."
There are three weapons used in fencing competition: Sabre, Foil and Epee.Quade competed in the Sabre in Austin.
In order to qualify for the national finals in Austin, Quade had to compete in the USFA Great Lakes Sectional Tournament held in Detroit last March.
