Don Rittner, who teaches, has made a film, and written many books — including one underway about the Altamont Fair — says you can't understand where you are if you don't know where you've been. He believes history is important and has helped build a replica of a 1600s Dutch ship, the Onrust; served as the city of Albany's archaeologist; and a half-century ago pushed for the preservation of the Pine Bush.
