Patrick Reusse: Rosey and the fighter: A salute to Denise and Mark Rosen Patrick Reusse, Star Tribune
Members of the Draghiciu family arrived at Ellis Island from Romania. They attempted to give a proper spelling of the surname with no background in English.
The clerk went with Drag on the official document and, generations later, Dennis and older sister Denise were the Drags as they went through the public schools of Gary, Ind., during the 1960s.
They were serenaded in hallways with the 1967 hit Kind of a Drag on occasion. The surname did work great for their father when he sat down for a high-stakes poker game and a fellow gambler shouted: Make room for Johnny Drag.

Robert Saleh, the new head coach for the New York Jets, is making history as the first Muslim American to lead a team in the National Football League.
Saleh is also the third Arab American NFL head coach joining Abe Gibron and Rich Kotite according to the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC).
The Lebanese American said in his introductory news conference on Thursday it was “humbling” to be the first Muslim head coach in NFL history.
“Especially back home, where I’m from, Dearborn, Michigan, there is a lot of pride so it’s a very humbling experience,” Saleh said. “When you look at an NFL organization and you look at the locker room, it’s like the ultimate melting pot of different people and different races and different stories that get together with one goal. To be a part of that is special.”
