Edit to the title: this wasn’t in her backyard, it was in Einstein’s backyard!
My grandma was an actress. She was doing a show in NY and one of her friends was going to meet him at his house out of the city, and wanted to know if Nan wanted to come along too.
So they spent a lovely afternoon in upstate NY with him. She asked him to sketch his theory of relativity on a cocktail napkin, which he did for her... sadly she did not keep it, and I heard her many times over the years express regret for that.
