Three People I'd like to have to Dinner

My Grandfather, as he was a brilliant man who passed away in 1994 from a protracted battle with cancer, I miss him terribly. Queen Elizabeth I, because she was an exceptional female leader in a time when women were considered subservient to men. Elizabeth Kim, who wrote Ten Thousand Sorrows, a book about her life as a Korean war orphan and the journey of sorrows and happiness that followed. Fantastic story of an amazing womans triumph over adversity (many adversities actually) and coming out the other side a strong, independent, positive contributor to her community.
