The Democrat and Chronicle has been publishing Jim Memmot’s Remarkable Rochesterians column every week since 2010, and after all that time, he’s added nearly 700 names to his list.
The Irondequoit Historical Society will welcome Jim to the library on Thursday, October 1, at 7:00 PM, to talk about some of these Remarkable Rochesterians.
Jim joined the Times-Union, Rochester’s former afternoon paper, in 1980 as a reporter. He went on to become a general assignment reporter, an executive city editor, and the managing editor at the Times-Union. Later, he joined the Democrat and Chronicle as its managing editor and senior editor. Jim currently teaches journalism at the University of Rochester and lives in Geneseo with his wife.
