The Historian's Path: Local Author and Historian Robert Donaldson Reflects on Decades of Teaching Law and European History at Rhinebeck High School


Listen Later

Norm welcomes Robert Donaldson, a retired educator and local historian who dedicated decades to teaching at Rhinebeck High School, where he specialized in Law and European History. As a distinguished expert on the region's bluestone industry history, Bob takes listeners through his remarkable journey from his early days serving in the Coast Guard Reserve to his fulfilling career as an educator beloved by students and colleagues alike.

During their conversation, Bob discusses his deep involvement with the mock trial program and his genuine passion for legal education. He shares insights from his extensive research documenting Ulster County's bluestone industry, work that has contributed significantly to preserving the region's industrial heritage. The discussion also touches on personal aspects of his life, including his family's rich history, his connection to the Marist Brothers, and memories of growing up in the Bronx.

Produced by Norm Magnusson, Jennifer Hammoud, and Matty Rosenberg @ radiofreerhinecliff.org
