Three Uticans have written books that may be of interest to classmates. They are available through Amazon and at the Oneida County Historical Society (buying through the historical society helps support their activities).
Wasn't It Only Yesterday? by Mario Fumarola is a series of stories about growing up in East Utica, portraying life in the Italian community.
The Olive Tree by Arlene Stein is a book about growing up in the Auburn Ave. area and portrays life in the Jewish community. I enjoyed descriptions of streets and businesses I remember from my childhood in South Utica.
The Courtship of Julian and Frieda by Krista Perry Dunn is the story of Julian Noga and his wife, Frieda. You'll remember that Julian Noga is the MC for the Polish language radio program we hear on Sundays. It's the longest running Polish language show in the US. The book isn't about Utica but how Julian and Frieda met during WWII in Austria.
