I'm glad you found it fascinating! Reworking the material of my childhood is one of the more recent aspirations of this journal, and it's good to see when I rework it successfully.
I did wonder for some time how it was that Feynman had so many interesting experiences in his life, thinking that he became a great storyteller because he had great stories to tell. But I'm recently finding that it is as you say... Feynman had experiences that he could tell interesting stories about because he was the kind of person who could make his experiences into interesting stories. It seems less profound when put that way, though. :P
I rather miss my childhood ability to trespass with impunity. That was the source of many adventures, enough of them to make the beacon I mentioned. *grins* I'm glad you had the same.
