The redhead and I are both big RAH fans. Indeed, we have a shelf in one of our bookcase that is overstuffed with nothing but Heinlein.
I don't have a story as cool as Steve's, but I was fortunate enough to have had correspondence with Ginny before she died. A marvelous lady, and undoubtedly the reason Robert held on as long as he did.
Edit to add: Favorite RAH quote: A rational anarchist believes that concepts such as 'state' and 'society' and 'government' have no existence save as physically exemplified in the acts of self-responsible individuals. He believes that it is impossible to shift blame, share blame, distribute blame. . . as blame, guilt, responsibility are matters taking place inside human beings singly and nowhere else. But being rational, he knows that not all individuals hold his evaluations, so he tries to live perfectly in an imperfect world. . . aware that his effort will be less than perfect yet undismayed by self-knowledge of self-failure.
