Way back when, in my hippie youth, I read a book called (I think) The Farm. Or something like that.
I seem to remember that Ina May Gaskin was one of the founders, and very active in developing home births.
Never heard of Judy Chicago, but it would be interesting to know a little more about her.

Yes, that's Ina May. Lowest Caesarean rate anywhere in America, lowest maternal mortality rate. A goddess! And no reason hospitals couldn't emulate and learn from her. No effin reason for criminal obstetrical behavior.
Judy Chicago - I haven't kept up on her career in years, but her most well-known (and very controversial when it came out) art project is The Dinner Party, which finally found a permanent home at The Brooklyn Museum. I've actually never seen it.

I would invite:
Jesus
I would want to ask him what he thinks about ehat has been made of his message, and who his beloved was.
Cary Grant
and I would probably be too tongue tired to ask him anything.
Miss Ella Ewing
I would like to hear her story from her perspective
Carter Bealer
I would love to ask him what happened to him on the 16th of September 1916 in Rock Creek Park.
Marie Rudisill
The Fruitcake Lady. I would like to ask her what her nephew, the young Truman Capote, was like, and what ever became of her Japanese husband who her family made her divorce.

No, I don´t. Thanks for letting me know about them.
I think he could probably just read a phone book, and I would be completely in awe.

Gertrude Stein
Oh the stories she could tell....

Will Alice be able to come along with Gertrude? Sure hope so. :D
Loved the clip of Nina Simone singing "I Got Life". That took me waaaaaaay back to the 60s, when I first heard that song sung on the stage here in Sydney - in "Hair".
