Always proud of Michelle !

Here's another mention:
"The five-time world figure skating champion and two-time Olympics medalist will be part of the U.S. delegation for the opening ceremonies at the Special Olympics World Summer Games next month in Shanghai, China...."

Short, very short article from the Seattle Times, 9/25/07:

I would think that she gets credits for her public diplomacy envoy work -- she is minoring in international relations.

I agree. I miss Michelle too. I really loved her skating. Maybe someday we will be lucky and see her skating again. She is a good role model.
