If you could invite any 12 historical figures to dinner, who would they be? Though I’ve considered this for a lifetime, my list is not yet complete. Folks drop off the list and find their way on to the list as my life goes on. Here, though, are those who top the list (in no particular order):
Shen Nung
Albert Einstein
Queen Elizabeth I
Monctezuma
Thich Nhat Hanh
Alexander the Great
Hippocrates
Helen of Troy
Mohandas Gandhi
Jesus
Socrates
Benjamin Franklin
Leonardo Da Vinci
Nelson Mandela
What conversations would occur? Would every joke be lost? Would any of them wish to remain alive? And what would they wish to change if they did remain alive? How would the world change?
What's our menu? What's our setting? Color scheme? Theme for dinner?
It’s interesting how almost everybody’s list (including my own) is primarily men and usually they’re dead!
There are many folks I’d love to invite, but just don’t make the grade for dinner. So how about a tea reception for the leftover folks? (Again in no particular order)
Sidney Poitier
Mary Queen of Scots
Maya Angelou
Shakespeare
Edgar Allan Poe
George III
Crazy Horse
Henry VIII
Geronimo
Sigmund Freud
Lewis & Clark
Janis Joplin
Sojourner Truth
Alfred Hitchcock
Teddy Roosevelt

Princess Diana

Bob Marley
Frederick Nietzsche
Mark Twain
Mother Teresa
Stephen Hawking
Adam & Eve

Feel free to leave your list ... could be fun!
