So here's the thing ...
At the inaugural Formula One race in Indianapolis in 2000, I was lucky enough to make it onto the flagging team. While doing a walkabout on the Thursday beforehand, I happened to be in front of the pagoda as Michael Schumacher was exiting. I zipped over to him as he was about to get onto his scooter, dragging out my Ferrari fleece jacket as I ran. I got there breathless and said, "Michael, will you sign my jersey?" He was putting the key into the scooter and I thought he was going to ignore me, but then ... he said yes! And autograph it he did!! Then he went on to win the race!!! Sadly, since then, other than a couple of outings to impress my racing friends in the early days, it's been sitting in my closet. (Even sadder now with Michael being in the condition he is in.)
I decided it needed a new home where it can be showcased - or a new owner who will wear it!! - and so I advertised on our local Craigslist and Kijiji sites. Alas, no takers. So I got thinking ... is there someone in Conference who would treasure it?
I'll attach the ad (with pictures), and if anyone's interested, let me know - I could bring it down to Seattle this weekend. It would be a great Father's Day gift! (It's a men's large.)
