How my Dad went from the Steel Mill to the Submarine Service | Episode 9 (Part 1)


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
