I'm back to 195 now. I'm 5' 11" -- but have a heavy frame (big wrists, big ankles... I think you've seen some pics on here... I'm "traditional hillbilly build"... need a sofa moved? I'm your guy... )

I'm pretty happy with where I've gotten. I have been able to coach my daughter's soccer team this season (practice, 6pm tonight!!) -- I spend an hour and a half running around with a bunch of 7 year olds twice a week -- -- no way I could have done that 3 years ago.

Equipment:  Greg Black made John Blount Personal model mouthpiece, Callet Jazz 63xx trumpet --- played at a mediocre comeback level for 30 full minutes per month...
Favorite Maynard Tunes:  Gospel John, all the other ones
