A Legend Passes
It is with great sadness that Fencing Victoria informs members that Maitre
John Fethers passed away last night. John has been a foundation stone for
Australian and Victorian fencing for the last 60 years, as a noteworthy
international fencer in the first instance and then over many decades as a
coach, developing elite athletes and coaches alike.
His contribution to
fencing was enormous and his legacy remains strong in the Victorian fencing
community through many fencers and coaches, and their students in turn.
Fencing Victoria extends its sincere condolences to John's family. A
detailed obituary for John will be published on the Fencing Victoria website in
the days to come and service for John will be arranged for Friday 16 April.
Details will be circulated as they become available.
