NORWICH – Local writer and historian Donald Windsor will be on hand Thursday evening at the First Edition Book Store to sign copies of the latest installment in his “Souvenirs of Yesteryear” series.

In this, the third volume, Windsor continues his detailed descriptions of local historic hot spots and points of interest, drawing from writings he submitted to The Evening Sun in 2005 and 2006.

“I’m fascinated by old historic ruins and this was an attempt to get people interested, give them an appreciation of old ruins,” stated Windsor. “As I get older it becomes more urgent to make people appreciate these ruins in our youth-based society, where people are constantly looking for the new to replace the old.”

Windsor said he believed county residents of all ages, and younger generations in particular, can benefit and “learn a lot” from each volume, and added he is in the process of putting the finishing touches on a fourth installment, to be released “by Christmas, I hope.”
