Dinner Party!

[RICHARD]

you open your doors to your home to have dinner
with 5 people, living or dead from the 20th century.....(you can have it catered should your cooking skills not be up to snuff)....4 hours should do it.....cigars and drinks in the backyard afterwards.....oops, you people in the cold weather climates have to stay indoors........


just people, no reasons, not just yet.

Eleanor Roosevelt
Princess Diana

My Grandpa on my Dad's side

Hey, if Warren Buffet is going to come to my house, he can park his limo any darn place he wants to!!!

When I was trying to think of the 5th one, I knew his last name was Buffet, but I also knew his first name wasn't Jimmy, and that's all I could think of. Then like a flash it came to me - Warren, not Jimmy, although Jimmy can provide entertainment if he likes, we could all wear Hawaiian shirts and sip Mai Tais....by the fireplace.

Richard Feynman too (Richard, we will need to have our parties on different nights )
Henry Rollins
Princess Diana
Mr Ed
One of the female astronauts from the 1960s who was jibbed by the US government and wasn't allowed to do the actual missions.

As tempting as it is to choose famous people to come to my dinner party, I believe that I would instead choose to invite the following so that my daughter could meet them and my new husband too!!! They all meant so much to me that I know that having my family know them would be wonderful!!

My Nannie (dad's mother)
My Papa (dad's father)
My Aunt Fannie
My Grandmother (mom's mother)
My Daddy Joe (mom's father)

They have all been gone for a while now and I wish Helen, Scott, Elizabeth and Andrew had known them. They were my life as a child!!!

I agree with Logan. As cool as it would be for JFK or Princess Diana to drop by, I would invite the following:

My grandfather--Bruno Vavala--he was a great man, and my husband never met him, I miss him

My husband's father--Jack Morrison--I never got to meet him, I hear such wonderful stories about him, I would love to have a conversation with him

My husband's grandfather--Ed Braden--fascinating man, who I also didn't meet, he had planes and was very into aviation, I just hear such wonderful stories

My maternal grandmother--She died when my mom was very young, I would just love to meet her

My stepmother's father---he died when she was young, and I hear such wonderful stories about him from her and her siblings and her mom

actually, that is my mistake......after mugsy filled out the invitations with family members I realized i should have been more specific!!! there are some more 'rules' i was going to toss out.....let me think about this!
i understand the desire to 'talk' to family members we never had the chance to meet........i have a g father that i never knew....

This is tough for me. A lot of the people I would want aren't from the 20th century, but from the 19th! I think having Oscar Wilde over would be amazing!

John Cage
Albert Einstein -sorry Richard I'm a physicist
Thomas Mann (my fave German author)
