Any of your bowling compatriots heard of TRF?

None that I have met are WISes.

The watch I posted yesterday belongs to the first person who is actually in one of my leagues.

All the rest were people who were at the bowling alley to have some work done at the pro shop and one was a ball company representative. They're all bowlers, but not in my leagues.

The Day-Date that I posted bowled in a league would go watch every week.

I spend a lot of time at the bowling alley and I take my lessons right outside the pro shop, so that's why so many have been spotted there.

Basically, they're just people who appreciate a good watch.

I do tell them what I will do with the picture and what TRF is all about, but it's news to them.

A friendly smile, a little watch chit-chat, and a simple question is all it takes for me.

I don't believe I've ever been turned down.

Being in a place where people all have something in common helps.

These people may have been complete strangers, but we're all bowling enthusiasts.
