Igneri is a “born on the fourth of July,” Italian American. Although Brooklyn, New York was his birthplace in 1944, the Igneri family moved to Patchogue, Long Island, when he was very young. After completing high school in Patchogue, he attended college at Brockport State University, where he received his B.S. in Education in 1966. He taught public school for thirty years, retiring in 1998.
Always fascinated by history, he continued his education, receiving a number of graduate degrees. He received his Ph.D. in Colonial American History from the Union Institute in 1992. He taught American and European history, as an adjunct professor, at Dowling College and Long Island University, from 1999-2004. He came out of retirement to teach American History at Briarcliffe College from 2009-2010.
During his summers from 1961-1994, David S. Igneri was an ocean-lake lifeguard on Long Island’s south shore. He was head lifeguard at Lake Ronkonkoma on Long Island for thirty-two summers. He was involved in numerous rescues and learned of the many legends of the lake during that time.
The father of two children, David S. Igneri lives in Patchogue with his wife Elizabeth. The History and Legends of Lake Ronkonkoma, the Princess Curse and Other Stories; A Lifeguard’s View is his third history book, and his fifth book. Many more are planned for the future.ver menos
