The first of a series of interviews of Richard Feynman in which he recounts how he met his painter friend Jirayr Zorthian and became interested in drawing. Incidentally, I did get to know Zorthian while I was a graduate student a Caltech, and I even produced a couple of pictures together with him and a group of friends. Sadly enough, Mr Zorthian passed away two years ago at the age of 97. I remember telling him how boring and stiff I thought Caltech people often tended to be and the old man replied with a mischievous smile, "oh yeah, they're pretty dull!" Richard Feynman must have been a spectacular exception =)
