DescriptionIn this "I remember" memoir, John Fuyumme recalls working at Seabrook during the summers in between his college semesters. He had many different jobs, including collecting samples of farm production for quality control and assisting with packaging produce. After he earned a Master's degree in music, he worked that summer at Seabrook as a supervisor. He was planning to attend Yale to begin his doctorate studies in music. However, Charles Seabrook convinced John that he would be more successful if he stayed to work at Seabrook. John has been a Seabrook employee ever since. His narrative also includes his memories of co-workers, and explanations of how the farm operated efficiently, from planting, harvesting, packaging, delivering, to selling crops. John's parents were originally relocated to the Gila River Relocation Center in Arizona, before arriving at Seabrook. John attended the University of Rochester under the Student Relocation Program. The Seabrook Educational and Cultural Center has been soliciting current and past residents of Seabrook Farms for an "I remember" project. Residents are asked to create narratives regarding their experiences at Seabrook Farms. These memories help preserve the history and multi-cultural heritage of Seabrook Farms.
