The two best-sellers, Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman and What Do You Care What other People Think? are "as told to Ralph Leighton." Here Ralph played the drums at the dedication of a stamp and a street renamed after Feynman, as a tribute to his friend. Donated by the photographer, Gerald Skloot, May 2005.
