The Dinner List- Deceased Edition

"If you could have dinner with 3 people, living or dead, who would you pick?"

I love that question, but I can never really answer it. Sometimes I roll that question around in my head when I can't sleep. So, why not put it into a list? There's just too many to pick just 3 in any category. So, this list will actually be given in 3 parts at different times. 3 parts? yeah: living, dead, and fictional characters.

I've already cover those currently alive who I would like to dine with. So, no I present some folks who fit this category, but are, sadly, no longer among us. Like all lists, this is in no particular order.

1. St. John the Evangelist
2. Greg Freeman
3. Humphrey Bogart
4. Martin Luther King, Jr.
5. Julia Child
6. Fred Rogers (Mr. Rogers)
7. John Lennon
8. Kate Chopin
9. Langston Hughes
10. Martin Luther*
11. Henri Nouwen
12. Rod Serling

* I think I'm required to put him on the list. Either way, he's fascinating.

Stay tuned for the 3rd and final installment of this list, where I identify fictional characters with whom I'd like to have dinner.
