During the interview, Francis would become particularly animated and excited whenever the subject of his son Feynman came up. He describes his son as having an ‘artist’s temper’ who often did things that were ‘out of the ordinary’ – and would then proceed to imitate his son’s ‘out of the ordinary’ gestures or describe an ‘out of the ordinary’ thing that his son did. As the conversation went on, it became apparent that Francis wasn’t just describing his son -- he was also describing himself. In that sense, Feynman wasn’t just Francis’ son – in inheriting his same ‘mysterious’ characteristics and qualities, Feynman was also his ‘soulmate’ and an extension of his own self.
