"Not the critic who counts" recited at Stratford celebration

Edward Josiah Negbo opened a Stratford celebration by reciting a passage from Theodore Roosevelt's 1910 essay "Citizenship in the Republic," saying, "The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood." He then identified himself as "one of Stratford's patriot voices celebrating America at 250."
