[Rhodes22-list] Heinlein

[Robert Skinner]

Hank, I started reading RH's books with "Star Trooper" (IIRC) 
when I was 10 or 12, and kept up with him right to "Grumbles".  
He adapted wonderfully to the changing model of the solar 
system, universe, human biology, and all the basic 
technologies throughout his life.  

His philosophies (as reflected in the various human 
interactions that he brought to life) were and still are 
breathtaking, coherent, and damned attractive.  I keep all 
his published works in my library, along with those of a few 
other cherished mentors.
