Fred also had two-foot-high stacks of papers on his desk, and could find EXACTLY the document he needed within those stacks in seconds.

We also had a 20-foot wall shelf we called "the wall of Fred" with nigh onto 100 years pf Physics Review Letters and other journals. He still referred to them, and could likewise immediately find a specific article from 50 years ago that had the calculations he needed.

In a very rare combination with that polymathic genius, Fred was also a fully functional social human being and an extremely nice guy.
