Was thinking about RJ, and just realized that both RJ's birth and the book he got his pen name from ("For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Ernest Hemingway) both happened in the 1940's.

 

Guess it doesn't mean anything, except that both authors are two of my absolute favorites.

 

Anyone know why he picked 'Robert Jordan', the main character from Hemingway's novel as his pen name?

He did not chose Robert Jordan as a pen name because of Hemingway, but because it fit with his real initials.

Oh. well cool.
