Season 1 Episode 9
My Father, George Pannell, passed away this week after a courageous battle with cancer. Like us, he had hoped AND devised a plan to fight the horrible disease. And fight he did. A lot of his fighting spirit came from growing up in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and as a U.S. Navy Submarine Warfare qualified Sailor.
The Problem:
Coming of age in a steel town during the Vietnam War
The Hope:
Choosing his own path in life would provide a better outcome
The Plan:
Leave Aliquippa and join the U.S. Navy
The Solution:
Became an Enlisted Submarine Warfare qualified U.S. Navy Petty Officer and moved into the Nuclear Power industry
I was fortunate to record this discussion in June 2023 and dive deeper into the stories I heard growing up. Please join me in honoring him by listening to his story.
I love you, Dad,
Kevin
