When a gold medal is awarded for integrity and citizenship, Michael will stand on the highest platform. Donald Mathis, Executive Director Boys & Girls Clubs of Harford County Aberdeen, Maryland, U.S. The ancient Greek games symbolized the Olympian heights man was able to attain in a golden age. It is unfortunate that greed and corruption have found their way into the modern Olympic Games. The quest for glory...
