One of the things I have to love about TIPS is that even when I post something completely tongue-in-cheek, I can count on interesting and informative replies. Thanks, John K!

My grandparents all emigrated from Poland to the US. They all ended up in an area just west of Detroit. My dad's parents lived on a street that happened to go by the name of Kopernik. As a kid, I had no idea the significance of that name, but I eventually figured it out.
