Former Bruck Mills workers were invited to attend a reunion hosted by the Bruck Museum in December 2017. Here are some quotes from interviews with some former employees:
“Since one third of the city was working at the Bruck, and my parents being there, I registered and was granted a scholarship. I graduated from the Institute of Textiles in June 1966.”
– Gille Daudelin, former employee and graduate of the Institut des textiles de Saint-Hyacinthe

“I knew Gerald Bruck. He often made his rounds in the factory. Yes, I liked it. I spent my life there. I guess I liked it!”
– Henriette Leduc Enright, former employee of Bruck Mills

« My fondest memories of the factory are of course the fabrics,
the colours, the scents, everything we did, the texture, the rolls. »
– Yvette Choinière, former employee of Bruck Mills
