Lacey Berns was interviewed by Anjuli Grantham in Bern Pile, Viekoda Bay,  Alaska, on July 6, 2015, as part of the Kodiak Historical Society’s West Side Stories project. Lacey was born around 1955 and grew up in California, spent several of her teenage years in Anchorage with her family, returned to California, and moved back to Alaska to Kodiak in 1977. She began setnetting for a cannery in Uganik Bay, learning how to fish and work with the gear without any previous experience.
