Mmmmmm....... MLK would be cool. Every time I see his "I Have a Dream" speach I'm always touched by the COURAGE it took to say those things. Gets me teary-eyed. Chocolate cake, Dru? Mmmmmm…….

My great-grandmother was disowned by her Irish family for marrying a Black man. I would love to see her in conversation with these two and then perhaps I'll learn more about her family and how she felt not belonging. I would prepared roast chicken, baked potatoes and collard greens and chocolate cake for dessert.

They each had such incredible careers that touches so many lives. I would be very curious to hear how Agatha Christie came up with her plots and poisons though :) I would serve homemade gnocchis with meatballs and garlic bread, one of our fingerlakes wines, and maybe a creme de menthe parfait for desert! OK, I’ll play too

JFK - Obama and Maria Schrivner if I was in a political mood. My dad, maternal grandfather and paternal grandmother -- lots of family stuff. Hemingway, Steven King and my future agent -- to talk about the book industry, writing and how to plan a writing career. If I'm cooking it's probably something easy like chicken and veggies over pasta, a green salad, fresh baked rolls and a chocolate cheesecake for dessert. And wine, lots of wine. I’ll play.
