          "S" 's Mom's father was born in Egypt.  My grandfather would tell us stories of when he was living in Egypt, such as a time when he got lost and a ghost showed him the way back home.  He told us that his father promised him a vast amount of land if he would remain in Egypt, but instead he left "The Promised Land" for America when he was only 8 years old.
