His Family's Continuing Rowing Legacy: Back To The Future
In 2007, Stanley's great-great-granddaughter, Rebecca Muttlebury of Plymouth, was a guest of the Cambridge University Boat Club at the 153rd Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race. It was a momentous occasion for a young member of a very old family, especially as Cambridge won that day. The conditions were perfectly bright and sunny, yet included a cool wind ideal for rowing. Nonetheless, appropriately, Oxford lost, leaving Muttlebury's old crew victorious in a race witnessed by his modern namesake.

Famous quotes containing the words the future, family, continuing and/or future:
“The difference between Pound and Whitman is not between the democrat who in deep distress could look hopefully toward the future and the fascist madly in love with the past. It is that between the woodsman and the woodcarver. It is that between the mystic harking back to his vision and the artist whose first allegiance is to his craft, and so to the reality it presents.”
—Babette Deutsch (1895–1982)
“Every family should extend First Amendment rights to all its members, but this freedom is particularly essential for our kids. Children must be able to say what they think, openly express their feelings, and ask for what they want and need if they are ever able to develop an integrated sense of self. They must be able to think their own thoughts, even if they differ from ours. They need to have the opportunity to ask us questions when they don’t understand what we mean.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
“If the oarsmen of a fast-moving ship suddenly cease to row, the suspension of the driving force of the oars doesn’t prevent the vessel from continuing to move on its course. And with a speech it is much the same. After he has finished reciting the document, the speaker will still be able to maintain the same tone without a break, borrowing its momentum and impulse from the passage he has just read out.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C)
“Everything I do is done within sight of the Führer, so that my faults or mistakes are never hidden from him. I do my very utmost to live and act in such a manner that the Führer should remain satisfied with me; I am hard-working; but whether I shall always be able to cope with the tasks entrusted to me in the future as well, is an open question.”
—Martin Bormann (1900–1945)
