The Man in the Arena
- Teddy Roosevelt

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena...who strives...who spends himself...and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
-Teddy Roosevelt

I did not know that we had a FReeper who was a fire chief and who was lost on that awful day. God rest his soul! He was truly a hero.

Do you know what his screen name was?

Thanks so much for the T.R. speech. I'll copy it and keep it with me at work from now on. I'm not exactly sure what his screen name was, but I think it had the word chief in it. And speaking of screen names kayak, John would certainly get a kick out of yours. We live by the ocean and his favorite pastime was paddling a sea kayak. Take care and thanks again.
