To: a little elbow grease
I was so fortunate that I went to college at a place when the classics were taught as VDH did. He is one of the very few men in America that I would enjoy spending a day with conversing as we poked around on my farm.

In this article, you see the lessons and wisdom of the three great men in history that I would sorely love to have but an hours worth of conversation with: Socrates, Jesus, and George Washington. If you could only choose three, they epitomize the the best attributes and foundations of our culture.

Their writings and lives are sacred to me.

Mrs. jimfree is a Ph.D. historian and a huge fan of VDH. We had the pleasure of hearing him speak at a Hillsdale event in their Kirby Center in D.C. Got a small conversation in with him, but not the duration you ponder. We are planning to take his Hillsdale online WW2 course. We always enjoy a good "lecture date."
