Christy Fox-Allen was interviewed by Anjuli Grantham on July 8, 2015, at Gull Light, Uganik Bay, Alaska, as part of the West Side Stories project by the Kodiak Historical Society. Christy was born July 7, 1952, in Seattle, Washington, where she went to high school and college, but spent every summer living in Uganik Bay. She recounts her family's connection to the fishing industry, detailing her father's early life on a farm in Eastern Washington, fishing in Uganik, and bookkeeping for the local cannery (then known as the San Juan Fishing and Packing Company), before becoming its superintendent. She recalls the history of the cannery and its operations, and memories of life around the Bay and of the people who lived and worked in the area. She also discusses her experiences working in the cannery, from packing eggs to cooking in the mess house, before turning to gillnetting with her husband. She describes changes to industrial relations in the fishing and canning industry, the dynamics of competition among canneries, technological and regulatory changes in the industry, and the growth of gillnetting. She also discusses the different ethnic groups who came to work at the cannery and how the predominantly male population on the Bay began to change when women began working there in the 1960s and later with the growth of family-run fishing businesses. She emphasizes the camaraderie among families and workers, the importance of community, and the lasting friendships formed in the cannery environment. She also touches on significant events like the Exxon Valdez oil spill, the union and strikes, how the closure of the cannery affected life in the area, and changes to community life.
