"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, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for 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 he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Theodore Roosevelt, "Citizenship in a Republic,"
Speech at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910

As Theodore Roosevelt (T.R.), Joe Wiegand brings history to life. A lifelong student of American history, government and foreign policy, Joe is a political science graduate of The University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, and a former graduate assistant at the Center for Governmental Studies at Northern Illinois University.

Following T.R.'s counsel to live a vigorous life and be the man in the arena, Joe has served as an elected county commissioner, a campaign and public policy professional, a board member of various not-for-profits and senior warden at his church. Joe is a member of Lions Club International, a member of Rotary International and a member of National Association for Interpretation.

Joe travels the country with his family on their tour celebrating the anniversary of Theodore Roosevelt's 150th birthday and centennial of his final historic year as our 26th President.

Hi,

Cathy,

Are you cooking the BBQ products?

Hi,

I am relying on Chuck's for the BBQ.

I am baking pies to auction off. I am also making the pimento cheese with Duke's mayo, bread-and-butter pickles and salted nuts.

Thanks for asking!

Regards,
