[edit] Bama to Long Island

I was at Bama and knew Winston Groom.

Im interested in how he moved from Ala / Bama 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. Ref: bio —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.192.7.105 (talk) 09:18, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
