She has been the person keeping the Boy Choir alive ... apart from the fundraising the boys have been doing, the concert revenues and whatever else has been brought in. She's a good guy.

(Saito) has been getting a lot of calls from people and groups who don't want to let it die. That's very encouraging. It's a big job. There's no question about it. But people are stepping up to it.

We're starting to understand that.

We wanted to put the boys back on the schedule. ... At this point, we're normally already a month into (the season's) practices. We just want to make sure they know that something's going on and we're still trying for them.

I have a lot to be thankful for. When I sit down, I can't complain. I'm very lucky.

Someone's always checking on me.
