In an odd coincidence, just after I posted here about Ginny Heinlein, Jim Gifford, one of the foremost Heinlein scholars and an old friend, asked if he could put an article I co wrote with Tim Morgan up on his Heinlein site. It's here

for those interested in Heinlein and trivia. It was a fascinating project; we took the dedications from every Heinlein book and worked out who they were. Some were easy; famous names, other SF authors, Ginny herself; others a list of first names who turned out to be family members or friends and very hard to pin down. Ginny very kindly filled in the blanks when I gave up and asked her for help and it turned up some lovely little snippets of stories I hadn't heard before and some very kind emails from various people I tracked down and bothered.
