Dave does not have any blood relation with Ernest and he does not write. However he shares the legendary writer’s appearance.
“I do feel like Ernest because I’m in the same town that he lived in for so many years,”CBS Miami quoted him.
“I like to fish, I like to drink a little bit, I like women and I just like having a good fun time.” he said.
The contest is the part of Annual Hemingway Days festival which seeks to celebrate Ernest Hemingway’s legacy.
