Thanks for the family bio. Robert Heinlein was a brother of Oscar Heinlein, my maternal grandfather.

Get out of town! RAH was your uncle? Did you ever get to meet him, and if so...tell us...what was he like?

Regards,

No, I never met RAH, but I certainly heard about him while growing up. I was born and raised in Philly, but RAH had already left there and headed to CA. My mom read all of his books. However, I am not a big sci-fi fan. Also, apparently I type faster than I think; my grandfather was a cousin, not a brother, of RAH. So, that would make me a 1st cousin, twice removed (?) of RAH.
