I heard the following story from one of the rabbis here who teaches a group of seminary girls at another school nearby.
Last week, their school took the girls on a trip to visit Sde Boker, a town/village in Israel, most famous for it's founder, David Ben Gurion. He was the first prime minister of the state of Israel, and is arguably the biggest name in the history of the state of Israel (next to Theodore Herzl.) It is safe to say that he is as famous as George Washington is to the US. In fact, Israel's main (and only) international airport is named Ben Gurion International..
Anyway, David Ben Gurion is buried in Sde Boker, but when the tour guide brought the girls to the gravesite, one of the girls apparently asked, "Oh, is that the airport guy?"
