Somehow I came across Richard Feynman in the spring of 2012. I wish I had come across him sooner. I was not quite sure how to pronounce his last name so I asked my husband if he had ever heard of Richard "Feman" and he responded "Feynman?" At that time I knew very little about Richard Feynman and wished I had talked about him more with my husband. My husband passed away in June of 2012 and he had very much in common with Richard Feynman. In fact, my husband reminded me so much of him! So when I came across the audio version of Feynman's WHAT DO YOU CARE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK I really wished I had found that before my husband's passing. I think my husband would very much enjoyed the short autobiography. For ME, the short autobiography helped me immensely with my grief. On the first CD, Richard Feynman speaks of his very first love and his very first wife that was cut short with her passing. He said that there was more quality in the 10 years he spent with her so time (quantity) meant very little to him regarding that. My husband and I had only been married 14 1/2 years when he passed away unexpectedly. But since we were together 24/7 for a good 10 years - our quality of life packed into many years was phenomenal! I have gotten much enjoyment from listening to Dr. Feynman and his different views on life (and his many accomplishments and teachings) on YouTube. A brilliant, humble man - almost a reflection of my husband. This world lost two great men (my husband and Dr. Feynman).
