If I had the chance to spend the day with someone, living or dead, just a casual, one-on-one day where I could ask anything at all; anything and everything I would want to ask and all would be answered, who would that be?
Well, that is a very difficult question. There are so many great people in history, and horrible villains. Who wouldn’t have questions for Adolph Hitler or Genghis Khan or Jim Jones? How could you not want to sit and speak with Amelia Earhart, Harriet Tubman, Mozart, Einstein, or Abraham Lincoln?
But I would also love to have been able to have had a moment with my grandmother who died the month before I was born or one of those heroes who stormed the cockpit on Flight 93 on 9-11.
Do you know who you would like to speak with?
After much thought, I believe I would like to speak with Jackie Kennedy Onassis.
I think she was just one of the most dignified and mysterious modern day women in my lifetime. I know there are far more important people, but Jackie Kennedy is always on my list. I would have so many who, what, where, why, how did you feel, how did you cope, would you do it again, were you ever happy, where did you find the courage? My list would go on, and on.
Perhaps my reasoning is because she was so private. There is so much we really don't know about her. She was truly an icon.
