Baron Fum is pictured here with his epee. He is in the"Crane" position. Very silly!
The picture was taken at the Silver Leaf Rennaissance Faire near Kalamazoo, MI. Fum does not usually fence in this pose, he far prefers something more stable. On the other hand, he couldn't resist playing for the camera. The white belt identifies him as a knight.
Baron Fum doesn't mind playing at rennaissance faires, or on the stage, but most of his playing is done in the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. Fum has been playing in the Society since Halloween day in 1971, when he attended his first tournament which was held on the quad at Kalamazoo College.
Baron Fum's official name in the Society is Ritter Baron Karl Aerdigwidder von Zauberberg, OP, ODH, OW, APF. He thinks that Fum is easier for people to remember and that's what his friends call him. You can call him that, too.
