Dining With The Dead

[Rogerson785]

Benjamin Franklin: A great inventor and lover of good beer.

Omar Bradley: Five Star General of the Army, World War II.

Tom Mix: U.S. Marshal turned actor. Stared in over 400 western films.

BONUS Question: What do these three men all have in common?

[David H]

I would like to dine with Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and my earliest known ancester John Harrel Esq. Born aroound 1710. I want to get a confirmation on his father and granfather. It's all speculation now.

BONUS Question: What do these three men all have in common?

None of these three men are standing in my kitchen?

[macwilkin]

I have dined with John Browning's grandson,does that count? For Todd, Viscount Slim was my God father and I have dined with him often,so I suppose they don't count as they are/were alive!. So my three are;

Mahatma Gandhi.
Napoleon.
Sir Barnes Wallace.

Slim of Burma was your God father?

My grandfather served in the China-Burma-India Theatre of WWII, and was a great admirer of the British & Commonwealth forces who he served with the 14th Air Force.

Slim, INMHO, is one of the greatest generals in WWII, and even military history. He & 14th Army certainly does not get the credit they deserve for holding the Japanese in SE Asia -- no doubt the American campaigns in the Pacific would have been even more difficult had Slim not been there.

I am in awe, Jock.

Not at all, the original query was what three famous people LIVING or dead...

Well I guess I should read more closely.

I still have to think about this one but I'll have to say that since it's alive or dead then Mel Brooks definitely make the short list. ith:

[Standard]

Walt Disney
George Washington
Robert Heinlein

[Rob Wright]

Robert A. Heinlein, huge influence on me as a tender lad of 10 when i first read A Stranger in a Strange Land.
Frank Herbert, another big influence on me.
Cleopatra a strong tough woman

Archimedes, just think what he could do pushing electrons.
