If you could travel back in time, any period, and spend a day with a person of your choice.

I would talk to my Grampa and ask him

-were you not afraid when you had to take that boat and travel all the way to Nanyang to eke out a living?
-did you really love granny when you saw her the first time she landed here and you fetched her from the harbour? She was at least twenty years younger, mind you.
-if you could write, what would you leave behind for me to read?

My Cherokee grandmother who died when I was a few months old, I'd ask her about Cherokee medicine (herbs), family history, and what things she did when she was younger.

I would travel to the 1950s and spend a day with Marilyn Monroe I am so fascinated by her I know a lot of people remember her mostly for her beauty but she was a very bright woman and I´d just love to have a conversation with her about life and about her mind.

My great grandparents. They lead such exciting lives going from horses, to trains, then trolleys and eventually cars. I would ask them about their family history, how they meet and I would ask about the underground railroad stop they maintained. They were Quakers.

If given the choice of time travel I would go forward not back and would spend a day with Oh this is really difficult now as I'm going forward the most interesting person on the planet

@gwyenth If she thinks life is worth it. How much of her sanity fame cost her. And what is the thing she loves the most.
