More birthday twins
Though the years are different, I found another set of interesting people born on April 1, all of whom I can see sitting around having a conversation in some writer's mind. There's Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873), whose Prelude in C Sharp Minor is still one of my all-time favorite pieces of music. And we'll add Anne McCaffrey (1926), who bring a literary flair with her science fiction. Sammy Stein (1905) found fame in a number of fields, including professional wrestling, NFL football and movies. Wangari Maathai (1940) is an environmentalist, women's rights activist, author, Nobel Peace Prize recipient and more. And to complete the intriguing little mix of conversationalists we'll add Samuel Alito (1950), Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. Have fun imagining the topics they might butt heads over, or just use them to inspire characters who become unexpected contemporaries traveling through your next novel.
