The Green and White no longer flies in the blue Rhodesian sky, but lives in all the hearts of those who knew a very special time and place. |

It all started in Rhodesia in early 1979. How can a guy resist a girl in uniform? |

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, 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 and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause;
Who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly,
So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
Theodore Roosevelt |
