My great, great grandfather was a pretty famous bibliographer, publisher, owned a large publishing firm, owned a book store with a reading room and translated a lot of books for German and English readers. He's not a household name but famous in his field.
I have a cousin that played in the NFL for Buffalo. Died of a heart attack at the age of 41.
