Sgt. Alvin York!
Halle Berry in her Catwoman suit.
Audie Murphy.(solider) Doc Foster.(Bataan death march survivor.) I wish we had more like them in our world today.

One of the things I'll never forget is the display of JMB's prototypes and demonstration pieces at the Cody Museum. I'll never get to meet him but that was almost as good. It amazes me that one man came up with so many designs that are still with us today and will be around (hopefully) long after we're gone. It's difficult to imagine today's firearms without the contributions of this one man.

Some of my favorite recipes start out with a handful of depleted counterbalance devices.
I'd like to have him address a joint session of Congress with BHO front and center. I think a weeklong lecture series would be awesome.

Harry M. Pope, A.O.Niedner, Dr. Franklin Mann. Those guys are probably sitting around somewhere right now chortling over how many times we have re-invented the wheel regarding cast bullets after they worked it all out a century ago.
Elmer Keith, Jack O'connor (not at the same time!) WDM Bell, P.O Ackley for famous people.
My Great-Grandfather that survived the Amenian Genocide to come to Montana and cowboy in the 1920's and '30's before he moved to Detroit, I would like to know what it was like back then and how he liked it.
Raisin' Black Angus cows, outta gas, outta money, outta tags, low on boolits, but full 'a hope on the Rocky Mountain Eastern Slope!

Guess I`m old fashioned. Would like to have awhile with my Dad that passed back in `61, along with my Mom and brothers that are all gone for some time. One of my brothers was in Patton`s 3rd armored relief column at Bastogne, commanding in a M3 Stuart light tank. He never talked much at all of his time in Europe from Normandy till the end of the war and he was heading for the Pacific when it was finally ended. Most of all I would give anything to have a while longer with my late son, gone now these 2 years.Robert
Except for the dog stew, I would love to bjoin in on that dinner
Jack O'Connor and my dad.
I spent many happy hours in the 1950s and 1960s discussing Jack O'Connor's books and stories with my dad. My friend Bud (now 86) would visit Mr. O'Connor at his home in Lewiston Idaho and related that he was an interesting, charming, and very gracious gentleman.
I would like to think that somewhere Mr. O'Connor has a .270 and can hunt what ever game he wants to from a warm and cozy spike camp high on a mountain or deep in the woods. A place where the game is plentiful, camp grub is good, there is always a campfire, and a few drinks left in the bottle of good Scotch whiskey.

Democracy is two wolves and a
lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting
the vote. - Benjamin Franklin
Lunch would be much more interesting without the suit!
Adolf Hitler! Just him and me in a small out of the way eaterie on the south side of Chicago, summer time 1939. Course I would have a silenced .32 auto in my pocket with hollow points.
i had lunch with Parker many times as a young man.
he influenced me to join the air force.
heck he wrote me a letter of recommendation to join up.
i'd like to have another one.
him and marilyn monroe while she still was brunette/red head, i think he would like that.
