Academic Administration | Raymond Murray, October 2, 2014

I have studied Hemingway for years, but had never been to his youthful stomping rounds in and around Petosky, Michigan. After seeing where he played and worked, and after hearing the many stories surrounding the legendary writer, I have a much clearer picture of the man who wrote of his youthful summer days.
