The story of Gregory Hemingway is a troubling one. Valerie met him at Ernie's funeral. They married. He had been a secret cross dresser when even a child. Ernie finally figured out what his son was doing and severed all ties with him. Valerie said that Gregory, called Gigi, was the best shot of the boys. They had several children and then divorced. He eventually had the sex change done and changed his name to Gloria. His drinking got worse. He died in a cell in a women's prison.
The spectre of being one of Ernie's sons held sway over all of his children to one degree or another. Insanity ran in strains through Hemingway's family and reared it's head throughout generations.
