Instructor(s): Valerie Hemingway. Valerie Hemingway, a native of Ireland, moved to Spain at 18. As a journalist, she interviewed Ernest Hemingway. Two months later, he hired her as his secretary, a job that took her to Spain, France and Cuba. After Hemingway’s death, Valerie arranged and catalogued the Hemingway papers for presentation to Boston’s Kennedy Library. In 1980 Valerie and her husband–Hemingway’s youngest son, Gregory–and their four children moved to Bozeman to enjoy the outdoor sporting life. In 2004 Valerie’s memoir, Running with the Bulls: My Life with the Hemingways, was published by Ballantine Books. Valerie recently performed at the Edinburgh Festival in Hemingway’s Havana alongside a completely Cuban cast, including members of the original Buena Vista Social Club. Represented internationally by The American Program Bureau, Valerie lectures throughout the U.S. and abroad.
