Danny, a wonderful British friend of mine & I accompanied three of the refugees to Finsbury Park to bowl. Emon from Ethiopia, Dean from Georgia and Abdulah from Iran*
Danny had not bowled in 20 years but earned 148 & cme in 1st. Dean, around 50, who has never bowled & has a totally unique delivery (ends of kneeling on one knee) got 3 strikes in a row. I have to say that it was the worst game I've every bowled. Not one strike or spare!
Afterward we all wenr out for chicken. It was good to see these fine men having fun; men who have literally nothing.
It was kind of Danny to help pay for the outing. A most gracious man.
Now I need to work on my delivery! Not to worry just one game is £5 per person about $ 7.45.
