Special Remarks |
(Fifty seven years ago, Ernest Hemingway inaugurated a big game fishing competition in Cuba. There were plenty of takers: Havana high-society, and a few keen anglers from Florida flocked to the four day tournament. The event has been held every year, except one, since. This year, Stephen Gibbs took part.)
