Smith is on the faculty at SUNY Broome, is past president of the Association of Public Historians of NYS, and is the author of several books: “On the Seamy Side of the Street” and “That Happened Here? More Saints and Sinners from Broome County’s History” (both with co-author George Basler). Smith has a weekly column in the Binghamton Press & Sun Bulletin.
Lunch starts at 12 p.m. noon and the program starts at 1 p.m. Admission to the lunch and program is $20. If attending the program only, it starts at 1 p.m. and is $5.
