If you could have dinner with one person (dead or alive), who would it be and why?

My grandmother who died several years ago. I would just want to see her one last time.

My granddaddy, I miss his quick wit and the way he made me feel like such a special person!

Whit phil ivey, because I like poker and he's the best poker player, and he coud give me some tips to improve my game, jaja.

I've often thought this concept would be a great prime time show (for the living, of course) where you could have dinner with someone of your choosing. Not necessarily a 'Movie Star", but someone you find interesting. Maybe get a makeover first, then dinner with your special person.

If it was someone deceased, for me it would have to be both of my grandmothers. I would tell the one not to eat home canned corn from the jar before heating it (she died of botulism poisoning) and the other I would tell her to be alert at all times when she is on a street corner or crossing the street. Vehicles come up and hit you and then drive off, none the wiser that they just killed someone.

From my last paragraph you can surmise that I feel very sad not to grow up knowing either one of my biological grandmothers. They both met very sad ends.

It would have to be Vincent Van Gogh, because not only was he gifted but also his perception of the world was so different and unique, it would be great to view the world through his eyes. Even if he was a little crazy....maybe i'll ask him why he cut off his ear.

Jesus. Do I really need to explain why? :-).

John Cage He has always inspired my music and my out look on life and the way I view the everyday world.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
