On today's episode, we join John McIssac in his October 27th, 1980 interview of Dr. Kenneth S. Penifold. As the Director of Environmental Health Services for the City of Edmonton at the time, Penifold describes his interest in public health and how he came to that position from an interest in animal care.
This interview was originally recorded on a 5 inch open reel tape and was digitized by an archivist on November 17th, 2020.
These interviews were recorded in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. Both social attitudes and language standards have changed since that time. Some opinions expressed and language used may be offensive to listeners today.
