Actually, not much thought -- just people that I've always admired or am seriously curious about. (And I forgot to add Nelson Mandela; shame on me! And Rod Serling -- now that has got to be a strange mind!) I'm sure if I really thought about it, the list would be much different. Imagine having the Wright Brothers and showing them the shuttle, a jumbo jet .... How about Alexander Graham Bell and letting him see a smart phone in action?

I guess rather than a Thanksgiving dinner, I'd like to have the great minds of the past see the world today and see how their thoughts, inventions, deeds have created our world. Wonder what they would think. Would they be pleased, disappointed, frightened?
