We want them to have a full year of grieving before they volunteer.

That was the hard thing about grief, and the grieving. They spoke another language, and the words we knew always fell short of what we wanted them to say.

After a year with him I got to a position where I didn't have to do nothing in the street no more. But you have to be willing to work hard.

I think other bowls relying on volunteers and all that, if you have to train a new volunteer every year, that gets kind of chaotic. Our idea was if the media are happy, they are going to say good things.

And it was all volunteer.

Don't lament yesterday least tomorrow you lament today.
