John Preskill

You know, he was a show-off.

He did it in a way which maybe irritated some people, which was also charming.

And it's not like he tried to hide it.

You know, he thought pretty highly of himself.

He was an old-fashioned sexist.

Every woman that we ever talked to about this would say this.

But they would also say things... I know a female physicist who... The way she put it was this...

Feynman would do these sexist things like say, would you give me a cup of coffee?

You know, these classic sexist tropes.

But she said, I never met a person who helped me understand the physics better.

She said, ultimately, I'm a physicist and that's what counts.

Yes, this was annoying, incredibly annoying.

Feynman got the obituary from the L.A.

Times.

He was able to read his own obituary.

Well, he enjoyed being a father.

And so we have Gwyneth to thank for that because she gave him a stable family life.

Carl and Michelle were delights to him, and he learned that each of them liked different things about him.

So Carl responded to certain things and Michelle responded to other things.

I could just see the happiness and fun when I came over for my Wednesday evening proper meal.
