Ok-I know, you had to wait the whole weekend for this! I tried to get on to the website from my phone on Thursday evening, while the trip was still fresh in my mind. But my technology didn't cooperate, and the rest of the weekend was SO busy that I completely forgot until just now (Sunday night at 10:30 pm).
But.....I asked you all to remember at least ONE person that was discussed by the authors of our Writers' Festival Presentation. The authors were Elizabeth (Liz) MacLeod (the taller lady with grey hair, talked about the scientists) and FriedaWishinsky (shorter, from New York, liked the explorers).
So in a comment, let me know one person who changed the world - their name, and what they are/were famous for. If you can remember more than one, go for it!
Here's a link to the Writers' Festival Website, if you want to check it out:

And a link to the specific workshop that we attended, People Who Changed The World.
