And have since I was in high school over 50 years ago! PSSC Physics had just come out, and our physics teacher managed to get the $ to buy the new textbooks, and have the films that went with the course to show us. AND OUR FAVORITE STAR OF THOSE FILMS WAS RICHARD FEYNMAN! We ALL loved him and cheered when he came up on the screen. He was WONDERFUL, and convinced almost all of us, that physics was truly WONDERFUL! I mean this was in a tiny little town in northwest Washington state, where the main sources of $ in the town were the pulp mills. He was just SO COOL. Imagine a famous physics professor who would agree to make science films to show to high school kids, and to DO IT WITH GREAT ENTHUSIASM. What a TRUE TREASURE of a human being. I STILL LOVE RICHARD.
