«D’une analyse de son passé personnel, il réussit avec brio à faire un rapport très documenté de l’aventure franco-américaine. La recherche est fouillée, bien documentée et appuyée sur des sources diversifiées... Instructif et émouvant récit. » action-nationale.qc.ca/des-etrangers-…

«Vermette a retracé l’histoire méconnue de cette vague d’immigration...Ses recherches dans la presse, dans des archives officielles et parmi les témoignages de l’époque permettent de mieux comprendre l’accueil reçu par ces francophones.» huffingtonpost.fr/international/…

Year I graduated from high school: avg. inflation rate was 10%, prime rate was 17% having reached a peak of 20.5% that year, while unemployment was at 7% rising to 10% the following year. Yes, housing is expensive but overall you'd take the economies of today over the 70s-80s.

I am editing the final proofs of my first sole-authored peer-reviewed academic journal article. I've edited hundreds of these (no exaggeration) for other people over the years. Now I'll finally have one in my own name. It took me long enough!

My peer-reviewed journal article quantifying the F-C contribution to the textile industry labor force in New England in the 1920s is now published. Using mill records and the census I crunch the numbers. Happy to get this study published. #Quebec #AmFr liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/doi/10.3828/qs…
