Former CBS News and Fox News President Van Gordon Sauter, who has a home near Sun Valley, will take part in a panel discussion focusing on the Ohio Connection to Hemingway in Idaho.

The virtual screening will also feature Lynn Novick, director of Ken Burns’ recent “Hemingway” series on PBS; Jenny Emery Davidson, executive director of Ketchum’s Community Library, and Gary Holcomb, Ohio University professor and Hemingway scholar.

The group will discuss Hemingway’s life and the history of the Ketchum home and take questions from those in attendance.

The event will start at 5 p.m. Tuesday, June 29, on Zoom. Register at bit.ly/HemingwayWOUB.

As for the Ohio connection? Well, Holcomb’s is obvious. An African American Studies professor, he also published a critical collection called “Teaching Hemingway and Race.”

Sauter is an Ohio University alumnus who served as head of a committee that was trying to find or become the manager/protector of the Hemingway House in Ketchum. Sauter is also the author of “The Sun Valley Story,” a history of the area and resort. And no history of Sun Valley Resort is complete without a nod to Hemingway.

The Ketchum house and the 13.9 acres it sits on alongside the Big Wood River is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its association with Hemingway. Hemingway killed himself on July 2, 1961.
