It's not every young man in Kentucky who chooses to fulfill his high school's language requirement by taking German, but Louisville native Nate Long had something of a special connection. "The start of this story goes all the way back to 1896, when my great-great-great grandparents emigrated from Bremen, Germany, to Sulphur Springs, Ohio," says Long. "Thus the Geigers, the Bauers, the Longs - and my personal favorite - the Schnarrenburgers, got all tangled up into one family tree."
