If you could meet anyone in history, who would it be and why?

Hello

I would pick Elvis Presley, and take my sister to met him. He is her all time favorite and I want to do something extra special for my sister.

Ronald Reagan: He was one the greatest president.

What did he anticipate? Could he have had any idea of electric automobiles (or $100,000)?

Nikola Tesla

General Curtis Lemay. My father served under him back in the 50's and said he was a hell of an officer and a man. He was one of the original US Air force leaders and was a tough, hardnosed leader.

I'd like to meet any Dalai Lama to see how their daily life and outlook impacts their inner peace. Id also ask how they worked up to that point and how their life looked and felt growing up.

Peace, awareness, and clarity is key!

I have two- one for fun and one for knowledge. Just for fun I would love to meet and spent time conversing with Jim Morrison about life, music, movies, and his poetry. I miss my father; he died when I was in my twenties and did not get enough "adult time" with him as a Marine and then starting a career. He was a quiet man with a complicated childhood; through genealogy I have learned so much about his side of the family which has led to many questions that can't be answered. I miss you dad.

While researching my family history line. I did found out that I have lineage to the Mayflower. While researching, I encountered the "Geneva Bible", which I had not heard of. Eventually I came across Willian Tyndale. He was translating a Greek New Testament and Luther's German text. With help of others, Willams translations is what the Pilgrims used when they landed in 1620.
He's not one that many have heard of but risked his life and was eventually strangled, hung and burned.

If I could meet anyone in history I would want to meet Benjamin Franklin. To me, Benjamin Franklin was such a diverse and dynamic person from American History. What I find fascinating about him was that he was known to be a polymath, or someone whose knowledge spans a substantial number of subjects and known to draw on complex bodies of knowledge to solve specific problems. He was known to be an avid writer, scientist, inventor, statesman, diplomat, printer and publisher, a forger and a political philosopher. Benjamin Franklin is attributed with being one of the founding fathers of the United States, one of the drafters and signees of the Declaration of Independence, and he was the very first United States Postmaster General. Additionally, Benjamin Franklin is attributed with such milestone firsts as studying electricity and the use of the lightning rod, inventing bifocal glasses, and for starting civic organizations such as the very first public library, Philadelphia's very first fire department, and starting the University of Pennsylvania. Benjamin Franklin has even appeared on our US $100 dollar bill since 1914! I could go on and on about him as he was such a remarkable and influencial person, not only in US history but in world history as well!
