Indeed. I shall be interested to see any obituaries or tributes that 
come out, because there was a certain sector of fandom who held "Ginny" 
responsible for all Heinlein's supposed sins, right back to the days of 
Starship Troopers. Knowing virtually nothing about their relationship, 
I couldn't even dare to venture an opinion, even if I was so inclined, 
but I shall be intrigued to see what everyone else has to say...
