"What
was remarkable about growing up as a Franco-American in
Seattle in the 1950's was the fact nobody ever mentioned
it. It wasn't on the radar screen and my family seemed
unaware. In Seattle people are more concerned about Norwegian,
Swedish, Native American, or British-American (from British
Columbia) issues. Learning about my own family's history
and coming to understand my Franco-American heritage
has been one of the great and wonderful discoveries
as a result of coming
to Maine. USM is proud to be part of capturing and sharing
that rich and important history."
