  • I think Michael Phelps is AWESOME and I'm 40-something. He is a role model for us all (check out wikipedia)! Other athletes and celebrities who have been blessed with fame can take a lesson from Phelps and the way he has conducted himself thus far. I know he will continue to represent us well and will do more great things!
