Michael Schumacher's aunt lived in MA, (after moving from Germany to marry her American husband, whom she met after WWII). Her daughter was, and still is, a dear friend of my wife. The aunt frequently visited Germany and brought me back an autographed Schumacher picture in the late 80's. It hangs in my garage. The funny thing is, she had told me, "I'm going to get you my nephew's autograph next time I'm in Germany". She never told me who her nephew was. When she returned with the autograph, I was floored. Michael was her sister's son!
It's a shame that he's in the condition he's in. Very sad.
