My grandmother got Hemingway’s autograph in Pamplona 1959 during San Fermín

Thought you would enjoy. Come to think of it, this might be appreciated in this thread, so here are my posts from that thread:

In 1959, during San Fermín, my grandmother happened to be sitting at a table right next to Ernest Hemingway in the plaza near Cafe Iruña. She recognized him and got him to sign a running of the bulls postcard.





This is so cool—I just googled Hemingway and Ordonez and found a picture of Hemingway with Spanish bullfighter Antonio Ordóñez in 1959. He must have been with Hemingway when my grandmother got the autograph!

The plot thickens:

quote:

The Dangerous Summer is a nonfiction book by Ernest Hemingway published posthumously in 1985 and written in 1959 and 1960. The book describes the rivalry between bullfighters Luis Miguel Dominguín and his brother-in-law, Antonio Ordóñez, during the "dangerous summer" of 1959. It has been cited as Hemingway's last book.

Amazing how a technology grew like that. Kitty Hawk was what 1918? 20 years later that big bastard. Everything was in place materials, fuel, horsepower, just nobody knew how to get one off the ground. Then BAM. Let’s keep putting bigger motors on them.
