Rose O”Keefe grew up in the suburbs of New York City, except for four years spent with her family outside Paris, France. After graduating from SUNY–Postdam, Rose moved to Rochester, New York, and gradually explored the Genesee River Valley on camping outings with family and friends. Since then, she has become a local historian with a specialty in the Frederick Douglass family”s years in Rochester. She enjoys presenting slide shows on Rochester”s South Wedge, the southeast side of the city and the Douglass family. In order to promote neighborhood pride and area history, Rose has organized five regional history fairs and always looks forward to the next one.
