- Go to Rosa Parks dead. It makes me think of people I would have like to have met
TerpG,
I was really upset when I found out that Rosa Parks passed away. What an incredible legend she was and will always be. I had so much respect and admiration for her. She did live a long life, but I hope in my heart that she believed what a true icon she was and will remain forever in history.

Why, what would you ask him? For all the spotlight on Clinton's antics (which I'm not good with), I don't think JFK was better. I'd like to know how he feels about how the presidency has evolved to include having their private lives wide open for discussion.
I've always liked Bobby. I've so much about him being a bully, but there's a huge part of me that just sees him as that scrapper kid who came up the best he could in a big family. You learn to fight or get crushed.

Wouldn't it be great to have the ability to travel back in time? There are many that I would like to meet and for various reasons. JFK would be my first stop.

A man at my work, Harun, brought in a tablet sized poster of Mandela. Harun is from Tanzania, and his sisters live in Kenya. I had quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt in my space, and Harun and I got to talking about how much Eleanor and Winnie were alike. Nelson always referred to his wife as his comrade. It was a very interesting conversation. Harun is very soft spoken and young but he has a sort of idealism mixed with someone who lived many places and seen many things.

I agree she would have been fascinating to meet. I think another interesting person would be Nelson Mandela who I saw at a distance once.

Two twosomes for lunch (but weight, theirs Moore!)
Either Samuel Clemens and Garrison Keilor, or Douglas Adams and Robert Heinlein.
I'd just sit back and contribute the occasional bon mott.
Jackie Mason and Lennie Bruce. Better bring bandaids.
Robin Williams and Groucho Marks.
Burns and Allen.
Norman Maclean and Dennis Smith (noted retired NYC firefighter/author/activist).
Lucille Ball and Fran Drescher.
Mark Knoffler and B.B. King.
Jimi Hendrix and Pepe Romero...nope, too far.
Oh, and Gene Simmons plus Jesse Ventura.

I would have to say the Pope........I would take him to the Precious Moments Chappel in Carthage, MO. I am sure he would have liked that.

Maybe Mark Twain for
afternoon tea just to hear him talk...maybe invite Will Rogers too. Would be fun to listen to the two of them. Also Helen Keller and her teacher.
