Patterson, Jr."},"content":{"rendered":"

William H. Patterson, Jr. \u2014 Bill to his friends \u2014 was an expert on the works of Robert A. Heinlein, publisher of The Heinlein Journal, Founding President of the Heinlein Society, and author of the two-volume Heinlein biography published in 2010 and 2014 with the estate\u2019s blessing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Bill<\/a>

Bill Patterson, author of the two-volume biography of Robert A. Heinlein, accepts the Retro Hugo on behalf of Heinlein, in 2001.<\/p><\/div>\n

Bill was born October 28, 1951, in St. Louis, MO. The Patterson family would live in Indianapolis, IN, and later in Phoenix, AZ, where he became heavily involved in Phoenix SF fandom, joining a local SF club and the local chapter of the Tolkien Club. He attended Arizona State University for two years, majoring in history, and helped organize the 36th Annual World Science Fiction Convention, IguanaCon II, in Phoenix in 1978. \u201cEveryone was impressed with Bill\u2019s publications for the bid and the 1978 Worldcon,\u201d recalled Mike Glyer. \u201cThey looked super professional, the text prepared with a IBM compositor at a time when the rest of us were using typewriters.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Bill moved to San Francisco shortly thereafter, and he later founded <\/span>The Heinlein Journal<\/span><\/i> in 1997 and cofounded the Heinlein Society in 1998.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI had been thinking about doing a Heinlein-related magazine for a few years, but I was not certain that there would be enough material to support a regular publication schedule,\u201d Bill recalled in 2005. \u201cI could always write filler, but I didn\u02bct have any interest in doing a fanzine. Dr. Leon Stover encouraged me and suggested it should <\/span>not<\/span><\/i> be called \u2018World As Myth.\u2019 He suggested the newsletter of the H.G. Wells Society as a model. I had something a little more substantial in mind and brought out the first issue of <\/span>The Heinlein Journal<\/span><\/i> in time for Heinlein\u02bcs 90th birthday.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

From its beginning in 1997, the <\/span>Journal<\/span><\/i> was home to the work of the best-known names in Heinlein scholarship, including Leon Stover, Ph.D; James Gifford; Robert James, Ph.D; Farah Mendlessohn; Robert Gorsch, Ph.D; Edward Wysocki, Ph.D; and, of course, Patterson himself.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor some time, he published Quodlibet<\/em>, a stuffy, personal fanzine of fabulous pronouncements, from cookery (the only proper temperature to cook a hamburger is evidently well done to the point of overdone) to the angle of Bill\u2019s splay-footed stance,\u201d wrote Dafydd ab Hugh in a remembrance. \u201cHe cultivated the useful habit of responding to letters to the editor (himself) directly after the reader\u2019s complaint, which vastly facilitated Bill in winning the argument.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2000 Bill won the Cabell Prize for his essay \u201cThe Heir of James Branch Cabell: The Biography of the Biography of the Life of Manuel (A Comedy of Inheritances)\u201d<\/a>. In 2001 he accepted the Retro Hugo on behalf of Robert A. Heinlein for <\/span>Farmer in the Sky<\/span><\/i><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

After Virginia Heinlein died in 2003, the Heinlein Prize Trust<\/a><\/span> named Bill as the Trust\u2019s official Heinlein Scholar. He traveled regularly to the University of California\u2019s Santa Cruz campus<\/a><\/span> to delve into the Heinlein special collection<\/a> housed there, where he mined the papers, letter, notes, manuscripts, and photos accumulated by the Heinleins and donated to the school in 2003. He estimated there were 75 million words of Heinlein material in the repository.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Robert<\/a>

Robert James (standing) talks with Bill Patterson (seated) at the Heinlein Society table at Noreascon IV, with Alan Milner, Mike and Sharon Sheffield, Pam Somers in background.<\/p><\/div>\n

Bill worked as a legal assistant for many years in San Francisco. But his passion perhaps never shone more brightly than when digging deep into the works of his favorite authors. \u201cWhen he was doing the research, his utter joy at finding and sharing new information was the most infectiously happy thing about him,\u201d remembered Robert James. \u201cI still recall when he found the contract between Heinlein and L. Ron Hubbard to rewrite <\/span>For Us, the Living<\/span><\/i>. Also, there\u2019s supposed to be a full letter from Cat Sang in the 2nd volume [of the biography], where she describes at great length the conversation she had with Heinlein about why he and Leslyn broke up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Bill was the author of three books on Heinlein, including the <\/span>The Martian Named Smith: Critical Perspectives on Robert Heinlein\u2019s Stranger in a Strange Land<\/span><\/i><\/a> with Andrew Thornton. He was chosen by Heinlein\u2019s widow, Virginia, to write the authorized biography after RAH\u2019s death. Over a decade of research, writing, and editing culminated in the books <\/span>Robert A. Heinlein: In Dialogue With His Century, Vol. 1 (1907\u20131948): Learning Curve<\/span><\/i>, and <\/span>Robert A. Heinlein: In Dialogue With His Century, Vol. 2 (1948\u20131988): The Man Who Learned Better<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

He also worked on the Virginia Edition<\/a>, definitive versions of Heinlein\u2019s work, by locating manuscripts, doing substantial editing, and writing extensive endnotes. He helped organize the Heinlein Centennial<\/a>, a convention held on what would have been RAH\u2019s 100th birthday, held in Kansas City, MO, in 2007.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Bill<\/a>Bill\u2019s other passions included food and music. He worked as a chef at one point, recalled Robert James. \u201cHe used to love to talk about going blackberrying as a boy in Missouri \u2014 the Huck Finn aspects of his childhood.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Recalled Tim Kyger: \u201cHe made the perfect cup of coffee. <\/span>Perfect.<\/span><\/i> He was an incredible cook. This might not have anything to do with Heinlein scholarship but I tell you three times: a Patterson-prepared meal was a treat.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBill had an intimate and encylopaedic knowledge of every pastry parlor, sweetshop, and cakery in San Francisco, including exotic tooth-decayers of Chinese, Japanese, Javanese, Crimean, Ethiopian, and extraterrestrial origin,\u201d said Dafydd ab Hugh. \u201cHad Bill been teleported to the backwoods of Barsoom, within eight minutes he would have located the nearest sushi bar.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Bill\u2019s sister, D. Rhonda Wallace, commented online: \u201cHe lived his life to the fullest and the way he wanted. That is all anyone could ask for! (He did it his way).\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

And he always did it in style! \u201cHe was always impeccably dressed in a suit and tie,” remembered Robert James.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bill died on April 22, 2014. THS\u2019s Geo Rule wrote at the time: \u201cHis role in the Heinlein world can never be replaced, and yet the responsibility of his friends and colleagues is to do our best to carry on his proud legacy of Heinlein scholarship.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Bill Patterson\u2019s family donated his Heinlein-related papers to the Society, and granted permission to continue to distribute and produce <\/span>THJ<\/span><\/i><\/a>. After a hiatus, the <\/span>Journal<\/span><\/i> resumed publishing in 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Bill<\/a>

More remembrances:<\/h3>\n

\"Bill<\/a>\u201cThose of us for whom Robert Heinlein was a lifelong inspiration owe [Bill] a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid.\u201d
\n<\/span>\u2013 Jack Kelly<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBill would always elevate any conversation to a stimulating intellectual level. You could ask him if he wanted to go for pizza and get a lecture on the chemical response of cheese to broiling.\u201d
\n<\/span>\u2013 Peter Scott<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI first met Bill in 1974 and for some reason we immediately became fast friends. He was my friend for 40 years. He was a stalwart, good, close, loyal, loving friend. He was, as his friends would say, full of \u2018Billitude,\u2019 but we loved him anyway. I was emailing him from work on Tuesday before his death and we were talking about \u2014 what else? \u2014 Heinlein. It is clich\u00e9 to say, but my life is now infinitely poorer for his loss.\u201d
\n<\/span>\u2013 Tim Kyger<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have no clue how Bill could faithfully reproduce (or recreate) so many conversations, confrontations, and consternations; either he had a phonographic and monochromatic memory, or the FBI bumped into Bill at the WorldCon, wiretapped him, then sent him a handy transcript for his memoirs.\u201d
\n\u2013 Dafydd ab Hugh<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne of my favorite stories is about his political leanings: Bill always described himself as an anarchist libertarian, which always amused me because he was always dressed to the nines. When I\u2019d ask about that, he\u2019d say, \u2018Camouflage.\u2019\u201d
