Jean-Paul Beaulé
1923 -

Born September 9, 1923, Jean-Paul spent his childhood on the family farm. He was a member of the young breeders' association.

He collected the cannisters of milk for the local dairy and he also worked for the local telephone company. Then he went to work for Breton Transport, where he was employed for thirty-eight years.

Just like his brothers and his ancestors, he was involved in the parish. As commissioner, he participated in the construction of the present school and the centralization of the one-room schoolhouses. He was also a member of the parish council and the parish choir.

On August 21, 1952, he marries Rollande Thibodeau born May 25, 1930. She is the daughter of Philibert Thibodeau and Marie-Rose Labbé. They will have five children: Denise, Hélène, Marcel, France and Claude.

Rollande, for her part, takes on the role of homemaker. At least, that is what she is perceived to be by those that don't know her. For the others, she is seamstress, hairdresser, parish choir director, artist and artisan in many crafts.

She was always ready to give a helping hand at her parents' grocery store and butcher shop. She is always generous with her time to help her neighbors. It's for this reason that mom did not work---She had too much work.
