After a combined 65 years of service, Reba Barnes, Theresa Dulaney and Raymond Murray will retire from Darlington School at the end of the current school year.
First of all, I would like to thank John Thatcher ('44) and his Foundation for the generous grant I received to study the early years of Ernest Hemingway in Michigan this summer. 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.
