Yeah, Obama was kind of a given for me but he's a little too new. I chose to go w/older ones.

Let's say you get three choices. For me it would be: Hitler, FDR & I suppose Clinton.
Talking to my ancestors would be ideal. Hard to pick just three. If I could follow the lineage on both sides of the family, and talk to each person, that would be ideal. These meetings would have the most meaning to me.

I would start with my paternal great grandfather, my maternal grandfather, and my great, great paternal grandfather.

If it had to be someone famous, the three would be Jesus, Beethoven, and Frederick Douglass.

That's good too. I'm ashamed to admit that I don't know my lineage. Of course I know my grandparents & all that, but beyond that, not so much. It'd be nice to learn about it.

Adam & Eve (I'm counting them as one)
Dr. Albert Einstein
Vincent Van Gogh

I expect to see Jesus, Abraham, Daniel, etc. very soon. I'll wait on those.
