SPORTS: Kerry Wood, Pitcher for the Chicago Cubs & Ron Santo, Multi-Golden Glove Winner, former Third Baseman for the Cubs
AUTHORS: Steven King, Mark Twain (but I can wait on that!), Emily Dickinson (again, waiting is good in this case), Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child, Kresley Cole, Kevin J. Anderson... and I'm sure I can think of others!
POLITICIANS: Barack Obama, George H.W. Bush (dad, not son), Bob Dole, Melissa Bean, Senator Durbin, and I used to want to meet John McCain, but now he scares me.
