Bill Horne k'55 k'1913

5 Years Ago

A Hemingway Connection

Ms. Lane,

Thanks for your response to the PAW article about my grandfather, Bill Horne.

He and "Scotty Firtzgerald" (what my grandfather called him) may have just missed each other at PU, but probably mingled in the same circles in Paris and elsewhere.

I am communicating now with the board of the https://fincafoundation.org/ which just restored Hemingway's place in Cuba (my grandparents were visiting "Hem" there the day I was born, Easter Sunday -- April 6 -- 1958) and also restored and digitized documents and other articles in his home, and connecting foundation people with folks in Sheridan, Wyo., who also have a Hemingway connection (he vacationed there with my grandfather), as well as people at the Ernest Hemingway Foundation of Oak Park (where he was born).

Best regards,

Join the conversation
