Bob took a recent diversion from building houses to building relations between the U.S. and Cuba with this op-ed piece he co-authored in the Boston Globe. The article is written on behalf of The Finca Vigia Foundation, a group he co-chairs in the Boston area that works "with the Cuban government to preserve Ernest Hemingway's literary legacy in that island nation." Through the foundation's work, over 3,000 documents have been archived and American technical teams have assisted in the complete restoration of Hemingway's Cuban home, Finca Vigia. It's an issue with particular reasonance for Bob, the son of Cuban parents. You can read more about The Finca Vigia Foundation at its website.
