Episode 284: Around the World in 80 Years: an interview with my Papa Dale
Manage episode 448806793 series 2422780
This was originally recorded in 2019 at my Grandfather’s home in Goose Creek. I sit down to interview William Dale Ribbeck aka ‘Papa Dale’ and we discuss his big life as a sailor in the United States Navy. He retired as a distinguished Master Diver and his impact on my life is immeasurable. He passed away peacefully in his sleep last night and I am sharing this episode again as a comfort to myself and the many many many people who loved him. When I moved to New York in my early twenties he left me with this advice and I think we can all use it.
“Keep your nose clean ands don’t take no wooden nickels.”
In Memory of Master Chief William Dale Ribbeck
