23 years ago today, Ginny Heinlein sailed beyond the sunset. Robert described her as literally his best friend and severest critic. She inspired him and gave him ideas for several of his books, including Stranger in a Strange Land and Friday. She was also the model for many of the strong, independent and competent women characters he wrote. She was a founding member of The Heinlein Society and served on our Board of Directors. We still miss her and may she rest in peace.
