- I would have liked to have been at/seen Lincoln's Gettysburg
Address. Also, I would have liked to have seen the arrival of the (parts
of?) the Statue of Liberty...I would have liked to have been at one of
the very first meetings with American Indians as well. Would have liked
to sat with Fossey among the mountain gorillas, too...Another, would
have liked to laid on the scaffolding with Michelangelo whilst watching
him paint in the Sistine Chapel.

- So many places/times/people/events.
I would like to have seen (from a safe distance) Jack the Ripper. And to be able to travel in time and stop him from completing his killing sprees.

reason that I can go forward in time, as well. I'd like to be there when
we land on Mars. It's been a dream of mine since childhood.

I would have like to have witnessed the Mesozoic Era, especially the Jurassic Period, and then finished it off by witnessing how those magnificent animals actually met their demise...

Kay said...- This is fun to see what everybody else wrote. I don't know what I
would have liked to see. It would have been neat to see Leonardo da
Vinci carving the Pieta though. Right now, I wish we could have been in
the stands watching the Cubs win the World Series. Sigh...
G. B. Miller said...- Whoops, got the name wrong. Had to Google it myself. I would have love to be with Judge Joseph Crater on his last day on earth.

Granny Annie said...- G.B., I did google Judge Joseph Crater and found the amazing
story of his disappearance. How has he been missed right up there with
Hoffa and D.B.Cooper. Thanks for the reference:-)
Thank you all for your wonderful ideas. We've got a "lovely bunch of coconuts" among this group of bloggers:-) It makes the QofTW worth posting to read your great responses.

- I would have liked to have gotten to break bread with Jesus.
Tabor said...- Well, I might have liked to have met and spent an evening
talking with Jesus, Budhha and Mohammed...maybe as close in time as I
could. I would have liked to have been at my parents wedding. Any
future space aliens we meet would be cool.

ReplyDeleteI would like to go back in time to see my home town, Milledgeville, Georgia, when it was the capital of Georgia in the 1800s. And then again to see it evolve as a town. And then to watch my parents in the late 1950s when they moved there.
ReplyDeleteBut I love all the things in the comments above, too - the possibilities are endless!
Oh, dear! I'll have to done more than one thinking cap, I think! :)
