Each Thursday I post a miscellaneous blog/picture/video/article that I have featured in the past or an interview of an extraordinary individual.

This week’s ThrowBack Thursday: Happy Birthday to Dr. Michael M. Stoddard.

A fellow classmate of mine reminded me that today is Doctor Michael Stoddard’s Birthday. And to commemorate his birthday, I wish to share with you a video, that I recorded back in 2011, of him giving a toast and speech to my classmates on New Year’s Eve.

Failure is not final. Success is not permanent. All that matters in the end is the courage to carry-on.

–Doc Stoddard

Also please read my obituary that I’ve written for Doc Stoddard last year: ThrowBack Thursday: A Tribute to Dr. Michael M. Stoddard.
