The beginning of our Family Association

 

By a rainy Monday of the autumn of 1977, two people are in the same room: the office of archives in Trois-Rivières.

And the banal conversation emerged three years later, the association "The Descendants of Louis Pinard inc.." What a long way since then. Thanks to the collaboration of hundreds of people who, each, have their own little effort to achieve the result we know!

The rest of the story is set in La Pinardière Fébruary 1st 1981, Volume 2, Number 1, pages 22 and 23.
