Today’s conversation is with Erick Geisler . Originally from Ohio, Erick trained first as a welder before joining the Navy. His appointment here at Site One on the Holy Loch had a massive impact on his life, with one chance meeting changing it for ever.
Erick rose through the ranks until he retired as Chief Petty Officer, before moving back to Dunoon.
Erick talks with Alasdair Satchel, who also produced the episode, about the nature of his work at Site One, his later career developments and the nature of diversity at the base here in Scotland at the time and how he’s seen things change over the years.
Thanks for listening!
