With you as his tutor twenty years could have been added to that gent's age and he would STILL have made it. Well done to you both!

Does he have a name Ok Mr no name you had the best of opportunity with Woody to guide you. Love the bowl mate. Not so many men and woman get the chance to live at home and be self sufficient at 86. May all his lessons be so productive.
