My good friend Tom Rutishauser, who got the Feynman connection going
through drumming more than 30 years ago, has been coaching Alan Alda. Tom
reports that Alda is very much like Feynman --- he's definitely got the
spirit! (And his drumming ain't bad, either!)
I plan to be in LA with my family March 10 & 11 (for opening previews),
and May 11-13 (for RPF's birthday May 11 and the closing performances). It
would be great to meet up before or after the show! With any luck, Tom
will be there, too, and maybe we'll do a little drumming for the Chief.
A special event is being planned for Saturday afternoon, May 12, outside
the Mark Taper Forum to celebrate the life of Richard Feynman. Admission
will be free, and I hope to see as many people as possible there!
I will send a further announcement when plans have been finalized
(April?).
