00:05 The special object I have is a stole,
00:09 which is one of the special signs
00:14 of having been ordained for ministry.
00:18 At a very early age, I just felt that I was meant to be a priest.
00:24 When I realised that I had to be a boy to be a priest,
00:31 my first response was to be very angry with God
00:34 because he knew I wanted to be a priest,
00:37 so why didn't he make me a boy so that this could happen?
00:41 A life membership badge which was presented to me in 1975
00:50 and I became the 26th life member of the Ainslie Football Club.
00:59 It just is a recognition of my services to the football
01:06 in the ACT and the Ainslie Football Club.
01:10 To be 82 is not the best because my health is deteriorating
01:15 even though I look, you know, really good.
01:19 I love to see my grandchildren grow up, you know,
01:22 attend their wedding and so on and so forth.
01:26 I don't have enough energy for them unfortunately,
01:29 enough patience too.
01:31 As you get older, you know, you don't have enough patience
01:34 to look after them.
01:36 They've kept me active and probably kept me alive.
01:40 See, I've been retired from my work for 30 years now
01:44 and that's when I started with the Brummies
01:47 and that's kept me going.
01:49 I really enjoy the boys and the band
01:53 which keeps me going mentally.
01:56 They are family, yes, and I love each and every one of them dearly.
02:01 Of course, there were eight people on that plane there.
02:04 He had seven mates who was down there
02:09 in the, well, under the water
02:12 and they went straight into Tokyo Bay.
02:15 They laid the mines and said they weren't very popular
02:20 and they went in and they moved in onto the place
02:23 because I was getting to the stage.
02:25 It was nearly all over anyhow
02:27 and of course, they went right through
02:30 and then that's where the plane is now.
02:32 They told us it's on the bottom of Tokyo Bay
02:34 and they left it there.
02:36 And of course, they would be in it too.
02:39 That's it. That's their resting place.
