Which of your ancestors would you most like to meet?

I have three. Dr. Japhet Hunt who bound up George Washington's wounds after a battle during the French and Indian War. Anna Ritter Olsdotter who traveled from Sweden in 1870 to marry Andrew Olson who sent her a map showing how to get from St. Anthony, Minnesota to his homestead near St. Francis. She walked the 34 miles to the homestead and, when she saw he was not at home, she went in and made his dinner. (This is only one of the stories about this amazing woman!)
