By luck I happened to be reminded today that Feynman died 20 yeays ago, on February 15th, 1988. A sad day for the physics community.

Poop-Loops said:Don't beat yourself up over it. I doubt you would have had more fun with him than at the kegger you went to. I mean, you were a sophomore, so you had different priorities and ideas of fun.
Chi Meson said:In 1986, I was in a band, in Charlottesvile, VA, with this other kid, Dale Kutyna. He said that there was going to be a party one weekend, at his father's house in Northern Virginia, and that this famous physicist was also going to be there..."do you want to come along?"
I was thinking "old folks party? You're nuts! There's a kegger this weekend!"
His father was (is) General Kutyna. The guy who was assisting Feynman during the investigation of the first space shuttle disaster. They became good friends.
I missed out on partying with Richard Feynman because I was a sophomore!
