Well I would rather have my regular drinking buddies and family at the table but for conversation and to be a part of the thread here's my list.

1. General George S. Patton
2. Napoleon Bonaparte
3. Ceasar Augustus
4. General George Washington
5. Franklin Delano Roosevelt
6. Ronald Reagan
7. John D. Rockefeller
8. Winston Churchill
9. General William 'Wild Bill' Donovan
10. Robert E. Lee

That would be one list if I was wanting to be serious during my dinner conversation.

I would love to have others though one with famous gangsters or entertainers or religious figures or famous athletes but honestly when it comes down to it I'd rather just like to see break bread with family members either who I never met or ones who have passed away during my lifetime, that would mean more to me and I would feel more comfortable in their company.
