They're coming to America!

On Oct. 6, 1683, the first Mennonites arrived in America aboard the Concord. They came to practice their religion and because William Penn offered them 5,000 acres of land in the colony of Pennsylvania.

Also, Oct. 6, 1866, the Reno gang robs a train in Jackson County, Ind., a first in this country.

You got to hold on to what you got ... Bon Jovi.

Hope is eternal. Defeat is only temporary.
