RIP Brian, you were the MAN! I should know, you whupped me everyday in practice. I can still remember the perfect landing to your back flip, after winning the "Top Hat Tourney," with a lighting single leg, in the closing seconds. I also remember Big Art, talking trash, while rooting you on. My sympathies to the Statum family. Tom Jones
