He Matt, I hope that you have in your calendar that you are actually playing on the 21st of March. I’ll let you play whenever you come, but I think the rest of the section will be there Saturday.
Corrected! Thanks, Sam. Looking forward to ETW!
Mr. Guilford,
I was trying to get in touch with some trombonist in the DC area to find out a name of a person I studied with many years ago.
I was a student with Ed Kiehl while at VCU in Richmond, Va., and after that there was another one I studied with and I can’t remember his name. I think he was from the University of Maryland and Kenndy Center Orch also and I can only remember his first name, I think was Richard.
I was updating my resume as to who I have studied with and Richard is my only missing link. I remember him as being tall, slender and glasses.
Do you know who that my have been?
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Larry,
I am not sure that I am aware of any trombone players with those affiliations named Richard. From the Kennedy Center Orchestra, I can think of either Don King or David Summers. Past National Symphony trombone players going back to the early 1980′s could include Milton Stevens, james Kraft, John Huling, David Finlayson, Bob Kraft and Robert Eisele. Jack Cooper played with the National Symphony briefly many years ago and was an administrator at The University of Maryland at College Park, so he may be another possiblility.
I hope this was of some help to you.
Larry,
I thought of one other name, Roy J. Guenther, who is with George Washington University and did quite a bit of playing in Washington DC in the past.
