M. Raymond E. Chandonnet
Franco-American of the Year 2001
Lowell, Massachusetts

 

 

Retired teacher, accountant, music director, polyglot – Raymond Chandonnet wears many hats. A member of the Franco-American Day Committee, he was honored by his parish of St-Louis-de-France, where he is currently Choir Director, in being named Man of the Year by the Veterans of St. Louis Church in 1990. Raymond holds a Master’s Degree in French and he is a member of La Chorale Orion. Proud of his Franco-American heritage he believes that “if you deny your roots you really deny who you are in American society.”
