I have to agree, even though it’s a hard choice for me, between Washington, Jefferson and Franklin.
They each brought their own particular ‘genius’ and character to the mix.
I’m constantly amazed at how very fortunate so many generations of us have been, to have had them come together at that particular time.

Thomas Jefferson was a difficult choice not to be my number one. But George Washington still has been my personal hero.Been to Monticello numerous times, always have learned/absorbed something new. Whether it was the constant restructuring of his home, his gardens, his winemaking, his writings, his concepts of 'separation of church and state...fascinating individual.
