Talk:Winston Groom

Bama to Long Island
I was at Bama and knew Winston Groom. I'm interested in how he moved from Alabama to Long Island; and so there is missing - the years after the US Army until his first novels and Forest Gump. (Ole Bama famous saying if you can't get a date, get a Delt) Footnote: After Bama 1961-65 & Vietnam 1966-67, Groom was working at Washington Star ? 1968-1976; then spent some time in NYC hanging out; then back to begin writing in Alabama.

He died in his sleep, most likely from a heart attack, his stepson Frederick Helmsing said. MikaelaArsenault (talk) 08:59, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
