Virginia Dare, I believe, has the distinguished honor of being the first person born in the "new world" to European parents.

B.D. Cooper story is fascinating to me.

A recent news story says that B.D. Cooper's parachute may have been found.

They claim to have found D.B. Coopers Parachute the other day, and back in the 80's they recovered some of the money. They claim that Amelia Earhart's air plain went down due to lack of fuel, that was the only reasonable explanation considering the fog and not being able to see the runway. That one to me is very hard to understand considering that she was a great pilot.
