An Update from Mover and Shaker Tim Morehouse: Olympic Qualifying Time and More!
Tim tells us:
Hi Peachy,
It has been awhile since I've sent an update and just wanted to shoot you a line! Much to share: Olympic qualifying, I have a book coming out next year...yada yada. This will be a quick and dirty update, but thank you again for all your support!
Olympic Qualification for London 2012
I'm now about half-way through the Olympic Qualifying tournaments for London and so far things are going well. My teammates and I just got back from the Pan American Championships where we won the team gold and put ourselves in a strong position to qualify for London 2012. We now have World Championships in October and 4 more world cups in February and March still to decide the team. Still a lot of work to do, but so far so good!

My First Book!
This past week, I also submitted my first draft manuscript to my publisher! Tentatively titled "Cutting Through" with a subtitle to be determined it is an autobiography with lessons about fencing career. Should be out April '12. Will keep you posted, but it has been a long (3ish years now) process and it has been exciting to see it slowly come together. I'm hoping it will be a great and inspiring read!

If you happen to be flying United or Continental...
The in-flight magazine has an advertisement with me and a few other Olympians as part of the US Olympic Committee fundraising campaign. I'm honored and excited to be helping the US Olympic team raise funds! Check it out if you're flying in July and look out for me in a commercial as well!

Other things...
I'm working now to put together a few things to help start fencing programs in inner-city schools. It is just in the infancy of planning, but I'd like to help bring sport to schools in a similar vein to the "Chess in the Schools" program. I'm also working on some other projects including a 2nd Fencing Masters to be held before the next Olympic Games (around June '12) to promote our team!
