Joanne Reitano

Joanne Reitano loves New York so much that teaching and writing about it became her life's mission. As a professor at CUNY's LaGuardia Community College, she published books on the history of New York City and New York State. Now retired, she gardens and feeds birds in her small Brooklyn back yard. Family and friends provide support and joy.
