• Maurice Bibeau Oral History

  Maurice Bibeau gives an account of his early years in Lawrence, Massachusetts, attending elementary school and Central Catholic High School. He decided to enter the Marist Brothers after high school, and in his college years majored in Spanish. After graduating from Marist College he decided to immerse himself in the Spanish culture. Maurice Bibeau spent nine summers in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Ecuador, Peru, and Spain rather than pursuing a Ph.D. in Spanish. His fine recollections of his early life mention with affection his close moderator and friend, Dr. Gerry Weiss.
