“Little is more extraordinary than the decision to migrate,” John F. Kennedy Jr. wrote in his book, “A Nation of Immigrants,” “little more extraordinary than the accumulation of emotions and thoughts which finally leads a family to say farewell to a community where it has lived for centuries, to abandon old ties and familiar landmarks, and to sail across dark seas to a strange land.” In our November Gratitude issue, you will read the stories of immigrants who found their way, often against long and terrible odds, to Fort Wayne. You will learn about the grit and perseverance they share and their love for their new home. You will appreciate anew how immigrants, to paraphrase President Kennedy, give Fort Wayne a flavor and a character that make it unmistakable and remarkable. You can read the online version here.
