With all the interesting (and some not so) things that happened in our history is there any place, time, or person that you’d like to visit or be with? There are movie actors, inventors, scientists, famous and not so famous people of history and time so who and when would you like to spend some time with and why?

Nikola Tesla would be an interesting person to visit with back in the late 1890’s. He seemed to have a great understanding of electrical energy and how to best make it work for mankind.

In 1899 Tesla was experimenting in Colorado Springs with wireless transmission of electrical energy. That would have been a very interesting period of time to visit and be there.

Thomas Edison took credit for many of Tesla’s inventions and patents, and it is said that Tesla was working on free energy from the earth. Imagine no power bills from the electric company.

Joan of Arc has always intrigued me, as has Queen Elizabeth I. Strong women in a man's world, I guess is why.

I'd have loved to have been a fly on the wall over the centuries at the place where I work.

How about hanging out with Elvis for a few days in his younger years.

I’d like to go back to high school and apologize to some of the teachers, also I’d want to “thank” so many as well.

I agree! Being the most enigmatic monarch who succeeded in rewriting the rules of being Queen, Elizabeth I makes a fascinating study of absolute feminine control! After all, her reign was dubbed "The Golden Age".
