Well, I'm positive you've met the last 4 on the list. And Feynman seems probable, knowing you. :) So Gould then?

OK, now that someone else has gotten the Feynman story, I'll do Gould: I took his class as an undergrad. It was an enormous class and not the kind where your average student actually gets to meet the professor, but one time I fell asleep in class and when it had emptied out, he came and woke me up to tell me if I was going to sleep I should do it in my dorm room.
