The David Norman Grisez Oral History, dated 1956, and circa 1995-2002, contains audiocassettes, administrative information, and transcripts of the interview between Grisez and Goldthwait Polar Librarian Lynn Lay that took place on May 22, 2000 regarding Grisez's experiences in Antarctica as a machinery repairman and petty officer. This interview was a part of a series of polar oral histories sponsored by American Polar Society and Ohio State University's Byrd Polar Research Center Archival Program, with funding from the National Science Foundation. Major topics found in this oral history include the establishment of McMurdo Station and a South Pole Base, the Seabees and their involvement in Operation Deep Freeze, the construction of an ice runway for supply delivery, and the activities and pastimes of men in Antarctica during Operation Deep Freeze. The oral history also includes Grisez's reflections on his work with the Antarctic Support Associates (ASA) from 1995-1996, on the leadership and staff relations during wintering over in Antarctica, on the changes that occurred in the forty years between his first and second trip to McMurdo Station, and on the machinery and equipment used in Antarctica during Operation Deep Freeze and in the mid-1990s.
