Transcript:

My name is Gilles Tétreault.  I worked at Joseph Papin from 1949 to 1967.  In 1967, I transferred to Lafayette until 1993.  I worked 17 years at Papin’s and 27 at Lafayette’s.  I worked in footwear because my parents worked there.   First, I worked at Chez Philippe, the restaurant, and then they had an opening for me when I was about 16 years old.  I was 16 but for my parents it was different: they started when they were 12-13 years old.
