    A BRIEF HISTORY OF ROBERT A. HEINLEIN<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    For science fiction fans, few names were as stellar as Robert A. Heinlein. From Starship Troopers<\/em> to Stranger in a Strange Land<\/em>, Heinlein was the dean of SF writers. Unfortunately, he rarely attended conventions, so his readers had few opportunities to meet the master in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Then in the early 1970s, Heinlein had a life-threatening illness and needed many pints of a rare blood type. He felt he owed his life to the donors, so when asked to be a guest at the 1976 Worldcon in his hometown of Kansas City, he agreed\u2014but with one specific stipulation: that he would only sign autographs for people who donated blood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Thus, longtime Comic-Con committee member Jackie Estrada approached the author with an offer to hold a blood drive in San Diego if he would consent to being a guest. He agreed, and in 1977 Heinlein came to Comic-Con. He and his wife, Ginny, had a great time and Heinlein even drew a picture for the Sunday morning Art Auction.tion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

    “David Scroggy [who went on to be a VP at Dark Horse Comics before he retired] was the first blood drive coordinator,” recalls Estrada. “We also had Theodore Sturgeon there, signing his book, Some of Your Blood<\/em>, which he gave to all of the blood donors. We also had entertainment for the people while they were [donating blood]. I remember that Leslie Cabarga played the piano, C. C. Beck played the guitar. It was a very fun event and Robert was delighted. We’ve had the blood drive every year since.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
