For me [i.e., Feigl], personally, it was also and primarily my frequent visits with Carnap (in Chicago, Princeton, Los Angeles, and for a while at his summer home in the hills outside Santa Fe, New Mexico) that I always found instructive, encouraging, and helpful.
My new #HOPOS project is to (1) figure out where Carnap lived in NM, (2) investigate whether Carnap and Feigl ever ate New Mexican enchiladas, and, if so, (3) determine what their answers were to "Red or Green?"
