Who is the person past or present who you would most like to meet ?

For me it would be Bill Gates ....

The main reason for this some ten years ago he wrote a book about where tech would get to in ten years time, I picked it up recently at a car boot sale recently and read it ! He really got lots right ! So it would be great to talk to him to see what he thinks is going to happen in the next ten years !

I understand he is only a pensioner now and so would be more than happy to pay my own air fare.

For me it would be a date with Sally Field. I have watched her over the years and she never ages.

Its a tie..but would love to coffee with both Ayn Rand and Joseph Campbell...two incredibly brilliant human beings with polarized views on our place in the universe...

If I had to meet someone at all... My biological parents and my many biological siblings (I believe I have 6-7 of them). Being an only-child in an adoptive family, I kind of wish I had a larger family. Life would probably have been more interesting for me (harder too, but challenges are part of life, right?) My adoptive family was a bit hard to grow up in. Parents were much older, dad died when I was 6 yo and mom was one generation older than other moms. (adoptive m/d ages were 45 and 62 when I was born). I still call my mom "mom" but now that she's 89 and my wife's parents are 62, it's a big difference.

I'd also like to meet The Dalai Lama.

Your sig makes me think, bonaire...I'd love to hang out with Neil Peart sometime!

I'd also like to meet one of the really sharp scientists who is good at "popular" communication...like Richard Dawkins, or Carl Sagan if he were still around.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
