I have a friend whose grandfather left a European country and passed through 
Ellis Island. There was a man sitting at a table with an open book and a pen 
in his hand. Another man next to him translated. The grandfather identified 
himself in his native language. The man with the pen asked the translator, "What 
does his name mean?" To which the translator replied, "apple." The man with 
the pen entered the name of the grandfather as "Mr. Apple." Two generations of 
Apples now exist in the United States because of that transaction.
