Waterville, Maine..........I can relate also

I, like the author, Rhea Cote Robbins was brought up belingually in Waterville, Maine. My mother was born in Beauceville, Canada and moved to Maine to work in the Lewiston mills. My dad's parents were from Canada, and moved to the Waterville. When my mother would speak to my siblings and I, it was always in french, we would answer her in english. I could relate with Rhea's stories of going to a parochial schoold, playing in the cemetary, however not the same one as she did, and also the importance of inheriting my grandmothers quilt.....what a treasure. I did marry a man who graduated from Colby, the elite college on the hill. Enjoyed the french dialog, it brought a smile to my face to see the language in print. The author captured the essence of life, the life I grew up in.
