Oral history with former gérant (manager) of the Town Infirmary (Hospice d'Easthampton) on Oliver Street, Easthampton. Racine arrived in Easthampton in 1947 from Quebec and married a French Canadian woman from Springfield. Had arranged a job at Hampton Specialty prior to emigration with assistance of a brother in law who had already emigrated. Continues to speak French at church and at the Franco-American club, though his work at Hampton Specialty was mostly in English; in Canada they speak good French, but in Easthampton there is much mingling of English words. Prepares good French Canadian meals at the Infirmary.
