Jeanne Holub Meyers

After graduation, I attended UW-Oshkosh for four years, receiving my bachelor's degree in speech therapy in 1968. That summer I moved to Fairfield, California and worked as a speech therapist in the school for one year. In September, 1969, I moved to Iowa where I attended the University of Iowa. In January, 1971, I received my master's in speech pathology. I then returned to Fairfield, California, to teach special education for children with severe communication disorders. I have taught in that program for the past thirty three years, teaching in four different school districts, from elementary to high school levels. I met my husband, Rick Meyers, in my first teaching job and we were married in August, 1972. We first lived in Vacaville, but in 1980, we built a cedar home in the hills of rural Vacaville, where we continue to live. We adopted two children, our son, Chris, in 1981, and a daughter, Tiffani, in 1985. I hope to retire in the next two years.
