Biography
G. Harry Stine also writes under the pen name of Lee Correy
George Harry Stine was one of the founding figures of model rocketry, a science and technology writer, and a science fiction author.
Stine grew up in Colorado Springs and attended Colorado College in Colorado Springs, majoring in physics. Upon his graduation he went to work at White Sands Proving Grounds, first as a civilian scientist and then, from 1955-1957, at the U.S. Naval Ordnance Missile Test Facility as head of the Range Operations Division. Stine wrote science fiction under the pen name "Lee Correy" in the mid-1950s and again in the 1980s, as well as writing science articles for Popular Mechanics.
Stine and his wife Barbara were friends of author Robert A. Heinlein, who sponsored their wedding, as Harry's parents were dead and Barbara's mother too ill to travel. Several of Heinlein's books are dedicated to one or both of them, most particularly Have Space Suit - Will Travel.
