What an awesome memory from my 1996 ATL Olympic Experience.

'Ali really elevated himself for me when he did the torch thing at the Olympics in Atlanta. Just think. Most people in this country get a little sickness, especially if they've been noticed or are celebrities, and they hide. They won't come out. Someone has something like Parkinson's, they'll just stay in the house and hide. They'll say, 'I don't want them to see me like this.' This guy came up with that torch shaking and lighting that thing like that - I felt so proud of him. Muhammad Ali did a lot for the world when he did that. You'll never know how much he did for the people who generally hide themselves. That man did a lot. To see him do it and not be ashamed. To say, 'I am the greatest and still alive.' He deserves the feeling that people have for him.'
