The blog Don posted yesterday truly intrigued me. If you haven’t read it, go back and read it. One of the themes in his blog was how the passage of time affects whom our heroes are.

Don wrote that, in response to the question, “who is the greatest living person?” Yale students in 1938 and 1945 gave names such as Albert Einstein and Winston Churchill. Don’s blog made me wonder how our heroes of today would compare to these men. In an effort to follow up Don’s blog, I tried to Google “greatest living person” but I kept getting references to Tom Brady. I’m sure my husband, and every other Jets fan, would disagree with that choice. But it does illustrate the difference between the definition of a “great person” in 1938 and 1945, with that of the present.

Is Tom Brady your definition of a “great person?”
