Very impressive lists you all are putting forth...I am becoming more knowledgeable by the minute looking up the names I dont recall or have never read about or have totally forgotten about over the years....Interesting & informative learning experience & gives a lot of insight into the likes of the people here on TBD.

I know you will be bringing back some rocin stories to tell...whoo hoo...your list rocks

[CWO3ROBBIE]

I'm still working on the list. I showed Pru this thred today and she is working on a list. Or maybe she is just seeing if she can agree with my list. We had a discussion about it.

So far:

1. John S. Mill

2. Ann Richards

3. Aaron Burr

4. Joseph Priestly

5. Samuel Clemens

6. Molly Brown

7. Thomas Jeferson

Only three possible selections left. I may need more time.

Now, these are people who I would like to have conversations with. Not necessarly people I admire or think did great things. Many of the people who I think did great things are not people with whom I would want to have a converation. I keep thinking about putting Hitler and Churchhill  on the list, but not sure that I would want to have a conversation with either of them.

I understand...Cervantes is on my list because I want to ask, WTF???

Joyce would actually qualify better for that question now that I think about it...

[caseyjo]

I looked up most of the people on your list.....great list w/ lots of thought put into it....I would like to meet them all..esp. Joseph priestly, Samuel Clemens & John s Mill.

I also thought of Hitler, but decided it may be uneventful to talk to someone so self obsessed. Would he be able to have a conversation? I would like to talk to him to see if I could dig inside to the man, but I think the man was who he portrayed....I think he played his ulter ego & was his ulter ego..

My dad liked him, his ability to command such power. I dont think hitler was so smart, I think people are stupid.I also think people who use hitler in a attempt to scare other people are stupid....It is those people who follow people like hitler in the first place...people who run in packs instead of following their own hearts & minds.

[P.A.]

Ann Richards would be a wonderful person to talk to.

[caseyjo]

I hope we get to see Prus list.....even if she personally can't attend, the list would be nice. Tell her I said hi Robbie.
