Check out page 212, 1969 Big T (lower photo). Big smile. But yeah, didn't see that very often. Upper photo of him on that page is amusing also.

That's actually a really cool link. Lots of photos of prominent CalTechers like Feynman and Gell-Mann that I haven't seen before (along with some of the former's artwork.)

I love the photo on page 219 of the engineering prof with his shiny new Tektronix 453 oscilloscope, which would have been exotic as hell back then. It's hard not to laugh at the idea of lighting up a smoke in a lab today.

We live for those we love and die.
