NORWICH – Noted local historian and author Donald Windsor will be available to discuss and sign copies of the final installment of his “Souvenirs of Yesteryear” series from noon to 2 p.m. on Saturday at the First Edition Book Store, 13 South Broad St.

Drawing from writings he submitted to The Evening Sun from 2006 to 2008, the fourth volume of the historical series remains focused on the history of Chenango County and the many historically significant places he’s discovered over the years.

A self-titled “ambulatory chronicler,” Windsor said he wrote the “Souvenirs” series in an effort to recount his experiences wandering about the county, discovering new places and meeting with those whose knowledge on them outweighed his own.

“We live in a youth-based culture and I’m a militant geezer,” laughed Windsor. “I’m proud of being an old guy.”

The older he gets, the more urgent it becomes to stress the importance of respecting our county’s history, said Windsor. Quoting Spanish American novelist, poet and philosopher George Santayana, he added that “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
