Aime & Aurore Foisy

https://mainemill.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Foisy_Aime-Aurore_MW_Track1.mp3

Aime Foisy shares his background in the military, having served in World War Two as an engineer and being captured as a Prisoner-of-War. Aurore was born in Canada as one of 14 children, working in the mills in Lewiston. Both share their history together, and all the events and organizations they played a role in, ranging from the union at Bates Mill to Aime being the Commander of the Prisoners of War where they held meetings at the Legion Hall in Boothbay Harbor. They have an incredible story together, sharing a glimpse at how life was working in the mills and raising a family together.
