Larry Dickens, author of “Gone with the Breeze: The Stories You Didn't Hear,” will sign copies of that new book from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 20 at the South Bristol Cultural Center.

Dickens was the former chief mate on Rochester's fast ferry; his book traces the ups and downs of the Spirit of Ontario 1 during its two years of operation from the crew's perspective as it traveled between Rochester and Toronto.

Published by Sulind Hill Press, this 280-page, nonfiction volume includes more than a dozen photographs. It retails for $21.95 and is available online at LarryDickens.com.

The South Bristol Cultural Center is at 5323 Seneca Point Road, Canandaigua, where copies of the book will be available for purchase that day.
