Oveta Culp Hobby .
I search through our library, the google search engine and recalled all of the films I have seen him in. I could not find one single reference to a hobby other than he was part of a charity called "The Wrinkle Club" and he had a school named after him in Canada which he visited as he could. His real love was the military, warfare and being a soldier of His Majesty. He was very highly decorated so you can see how much he loved being a warrior. I would suspect he liked the tables with the miniature soldiers and war implements or chess perhaps because they would fit in with his mind. He wrote four books. I have attached a site that gives you the titles of the books. These books may have a reference to his hobbies since he wrote the books himself. Writing and reading were surely one of his hobbies. See link below. I have seen many pictures taken in Scotland where he and Major General Sir Francis de Guingand would go fishing.
