In Poul Anderson's The Stars Are Also Fire, 14, Tychopolis city hall, including the office of the mayor, Dagny Beynac, comprises a few rented rooms in the Fireball Complex. The Terrestrial nations have allowed Lunar municipal government to oversee the services affecting "...the lives of the Moon's inhabitants." (p. 182) Dagny openly supports Fireball.
Earlier, we read that the surname, "Rydberg," had become the title of the Fireball Trothdom lodgemasters. Now, in this Mother of the Moon chapter set in an earlier period, we read about the original Lars Rydberg, son of Dagny Beynac, thus great-grandson of Anson Guthrie, also Fireball Pilot.
Anson Guthrie, founder of Fireball.
download Anson Guthrie, founder of the Centaurian colony.
Dagny Beynac, mayor of Tychopolis, mother of Lunarians, thus "Mother of the Moon."
Lars Rydberg, the first "Rydberg."
The family of the future.

Kaor, Paul!
And I noted how old fashioned titles like "Mayor" were not abandoned.
