“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 them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
The Man in the Arena

Yea, he was loved by all, from what my grandparents use to tell me. Good leaders are really hard to find these days :)
Bob, when you find them, send them up to Canada, we could sure use them too. He put the country before his ego
Bob, I really love how you quoted Teddy Roosevelt saying "there is no effort without error and shortcoming." I´m counting on that being true.
Thankyou all!
You betcha, bob!
