<mods:abstract>Bill Kennedy, who grew up near Mashapaug, discusses some childhood memories of the
area. Most of the interview focuses on his working life, including 20 years of employment in the
foundry and warehouse at Gorham and his experiences as a union member and organizer for the
Steelworkers International Union (including grievances and arbitration). He remembers working
conditions at Gorham, a wildcat strike, Korean war veterans at Gorham, and changes at Gorham
when Textron took over.</mods:abstract>
