Author D’Imperio speaks at Oxford Memorial Library
OXFORD – Chuck D’Imperio, noted local author, will be speaking at the Oxford Memorial Library at 7 p.m. Wednesday. The Oxford Historical Society is sponsoring this special guest performance in the Library’s new Community Room. The topic of D’Imperio’s presentation will be his latest book, “My Town Is A Cathedral: My Memories of Sidney,” a nostalgic look capturing the feel of mid-twentieth century small town life.
D’Imperio’s latest publication, “My Town Is A Cathedral,” is a trip back through the looking-glass to a time of hula hoops, kick-the-can, and black and white Saturday morning TV shows. Noted author and broadcaster Chuck D’Imperio brilliantly essays a sentimental time capsule of growing up in a quintessential American small town. Although D’Imperio writes specifically of his own hometown, Sidney, it is without a doubt that all readers of all geographic persuasions will associate their own upbringings with D’Imperio’s vivid recollections. My Town Is A Cathedral is a precious nugget mined from the author’s fertile memory banks.
Chuck’s previous presentations in Oxford, entertaining stories from his “Great Graves…” and historical events highlighted from his “Upstate New York: History Happened Here!,”books were big hits. Longtime radio broadcaster and renown storyteller, this charming author, with the big personality, is sure to put a smile on your face. D’Imperio’s passion for history and people of Upstate New York is intense and apparently never ceasing. Suffice it to say it’s doubtful that he’s ever been ‘at a loss for words’ and this intimate portrait of the people and places he remembers from his youth will get everyone talking!
This is a community event – Oxford’s Memorial Library and Historical Society cooperating to present this very interesting program in the new Community Room. There will be light refreshments and time for conversation and book signings at the end of the program.
Looking ahead, to June 16, 7 p.m., the Oxford Historical Society will co-host another program in the Library’s Community Room along with the Chenango County Historical Society. Guests, Bob and Trish Kane will present, “New York Covered Bridges and Theodore Burr Covered Bridge Resource Center”.
The Community Room is in the Oxford Memorial Library, located at 8 Fort Hill Park. Call 843-6146 for info/directions.
