Frank Asch: Hello. My name is Frank Asch. There are lots of Franks in my family. Almost everyone is called Frank, John, or Mary. It got so confusing, they started adding letters. My cousin, Frank, for example, is called Frankie G, and I'm sometimes referred to as Frank A. My last name is Hungarian. It was spelled differently in Hungary, but when my grandparents were processed in Ellis Island, they changed the spelling, so my name should really be Frank Arch, because my forefathers were carpenters who built the timber arches that hold up buildings.
