Michelle in Oxford (England) at Skoll World Forum

**teach23** · April 5th, 2017, 07:43 PM

I believe that Michelle is pictured at table with super star, Bono.

The three photos below were taken on April 4th:

The photo below was taken on April 5th--this could be Michelle?? Not sure since her back is to the camera:

Skoll World Forum information about Michelle. Note her special interest at bottom of article:

That was interesting. What do you think she intends to do with regard to the Skoll Organization? They are calling her a contributor but that can mean many things. As usual, thanks teach23. However do you find out all this information.

Michelle has attended the Skoll Forum before. I believe that the Forum's international & humanitarian components draw her there. Also, she and Jeff Skoll are good friends. I have seen them photographed together. It seems that Skoll runs with the Donnie Demers crowd when he's able. The man is a billionaire. He was the first president of Ebay. I remember Michelle thanking him for finding her favorite perfume on Ebay.

Nothing like the campus of the University of Oxford to provide a backdrop worthy of Michelle.

**CAROLB** · April 7th, 2017, 02:12 AM

After reading about her being at the Skoll World Forum, I began to remember seeing Michelle there once before. Sometimes my mind is like a slow computer, but it eventually gets there. I am glad she is out and about, enjoying life. That is good for her.

Having dinner at the Skoll Forum is more Michelle than McDonalds.

**Mathman2** · April 7th, 2017, 06:11 PM

Hey Carol B, did you notice how Michelle is walking with her toe pointed and her foot directly in front of the other, like a dancer? Compared to those othe slew-footed oafs in the picture. (Although, the man right next to her isn't doing too bad.

)

Poor Michelle, she can't even walk down the street without drawing comments like this one from her fans.

We should have T-shirts printed up with the slogan, "SLEW-FOOTED OAFS FOR MICHELLE."

**CAROLB** · April 8th, 2017, 01:40 AM

You are right Mathman2. She walks like a well trained lady with tons of class, poise and beauty. Can't beat that!

**michellesmom** · April 9th, 2017, 07:46 PM

OK, this is weird. Many years ago--28 to be exact, because I was 7 months pregnant with my daughter--I stood just about in that exact same spot on a tour of Oxford and Stratford-Upon-Avon. I had won a trip from a travel agency and decided we'd better use it before the baby came, LOL.

**Mathman2** · April 9th, 2017, 08:05 PM

Cool story, michelle'smom.

By the way, do you think that the guy walking next to Michelle in the dark blue blue coat is Jeff Skoll himself?

Scruffy beard and slight mustache, check. High balding forehead, check.

I wonder occasionally if I've ever stood on or near an exact spot where Michelle stood in a different time.

Well Mathman2, he looks like he could be a Jeff Skoll. The name fits.

Can you run faster than the speed of light? You could go back in time and meet her!

The guy walking next to Michelle is too young to be Jeff. I noticed he's not wearing one of those huge ID tags. My son said jokingly: "Dude looks like a body guard, Mom!"

I called The Flash on Speed Dial, and he instructed me on how to run faster than light. However, I've decided against doing so. After all, Michelle might be a bit nonplussed if I suddenly popped out of thin air and said, "Hi! I'm Rick In San Jose!" Especially if such occurred during one of her skating performances.

Rick pops out of thin air to discover that it is 1995 and 14-year-old Michelle has just finished fourth at the senior world championships in Birmingham, England. "Oh, there you are, Rick," she exclaimed. "Can I ask one question? Will I ever win a World Championship?"

Rick mysteriously raises his hand, five fingers outstretched.

"Are you trying to do 'Live Long and Prosper,' Rick? It's more like this..." But Rick had already disappeared, thinking to himself. "I'll just pop over to Oxford, 2017, and check out the Skoll Forum."

I would never want to be to Michelle what "Q" is to Captain Picard -- an irritating personage appearing out of nowhere at inopportune times. Thus, I shall never be a Time-Traveling Trickster -- or a Time-Traveling Rickster.

**michellesmom** · April 16th, 2017, 06:04 PM

Well, I've been to Angels' Stadium and the Honda Center and EWIP, and so has Michelle, so I figure we must've at least walked on the same staircase at different times.

Rick probably already is a time-traveling Rickster, but he'd probably never let us know. The truth is out there.

I would bet that the room at EWIP with Michelle's awards and memorabilia on display is one impressive place.

**michellesmom** · April 18th, 2017, 12:53 AM

When I was at EWIP, it was before everything was organized, so there were just piles and piles of awards and honors. It was like the world's biggest garage sale of medals and trophies and plaques and ribbons.
