Jerry,

That is cool that you named your daughter from TEFL. And I have been reading Heinlein at least since I was ten, I can't remember when I picked him up. Always been an avid reader and SF is my love. I remmeber reading Tom Corbett Space Cadet and also the Tom Swift series when I was very little, both hand me downs from my natural father and I am trying to collect a ful set today, as mine have been lost over time.

And Bubba, To Sail is also great. I thought Heinlein did a great job of entwining his stories in the later years. not sure he had tha in mind back the 40's when he started writing, but very cool to see how he interrelates the story lines. For anybody who is a Stephen King fan, he did the same thing in some of his later stuff, especially with the Gunslinger series.
