The House of Windsor can trace its ancestry back to Rolf the Ganger, a Norse
pirate, who stole a lot more than sheep. That's what separates the upper
and lower classes -- the amount one steals.

Just call him "Happosai."

Anyway, in my "Cherry Moon: Adventures on New Mars" comic strip (which
appeared in the Dallas Brawl fanzine), three locales that are mentioned are
Port Heinlein, Burroughs City and Goddard City. I must have named the third
one after you, then? ;)

Well, there won't be any named after me, but then again, anybody who
goes to Mars (or the Moon, or a Habitat) in the early days would be a
xenophile, by definition.
