Bama to Long Island
editI 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.
