Richard "Dick" Eide & Adam Perry

Richard “Dick” Eide sits down with Adam Perry to reflect on his life growing up in Petersburg, Alaska—where he began fishing as a young boy and teen. His early experiences on the water laid the foundation for a lifelong career as a commercial fisherman and boat owner. Recorded in the Spring of 2025 for Mr. Shumway’s Senior Alaska History class at Petersburg High School, the full interview was unfortunately lost. However, the four surviving clips capture Eide’s deep connection to the fishing industry, the Petersburg community, and his thoughts on the current environmental factors of the fishing industry.
