Stephen Sanfilippo, known to many in our Downeast communities for his performances of historic music and his volunteer work with the Pembroke Historical Society, was a participant at the annual meeting and conference of the American Historical Association held in New York City in early January 2020. Stephen, who taught grades 9-12 history courses for many years, served as chair for a teacher training session on the use of local historical archives by high school, middle school and elementary school students.
