What they have in common...

Alexander Graham Bell
Wayne Gretzky
Phil Hartman
Lawren Harris (Group of Seven artist)

I think Bell and Gretzky were both born in Brantford Ontario. Which would be a reasonable place for a group of seven artist to be born. I don’t know who Hartman is. But I’ll say birthplace: Brantford .

YES!!!

Bell was born in Scotland, wasn’t he? I know he DID live in Canada for a good chunk of his life, so Canada must be the common bond somehow.

Phil Hartman of Saturday Night Live was definitely Canadian.

Writer Edgar Allan Poe
Chinese dictator Mao Tse-tung
British Prime Minister Edward Heath
Singer/songwriter Bob Dylan
Sir Walter Raleigh

Hmm. Maybe Bell only lived in Brantford? I visited Brantford briefly a number of years back and thought I recalled going to a museum about him, located there because of his connections to the town. So, maybe they all lived in Brantford?
Or maybe I’m completely wrong and it’s just Canada.

Actually I’m now beginning to wonder whether a city named Brantford Ontario actually exists. Hmm. Say “Brantford” enough times at it becomes meaningless…hmmm

Brantford is the common theme I was going for. Good job.
