Marvin Meyers

Esoteric Quandary

Marvin is a special guy, and you would never think that he is 91 talking with him. He is one reason I became involved with our veteran group in Denver, and I am happy to know these guys with every interview a little more. Marvin, originally from Chicago, dropped out of high school and joined the service on the tail end of World War 2. He enlisted in the Army, and when he left, he separated from service in the Air Force and worked in the admin department. Marvin then attended the University of Denver, where he received his undergrad, graduate, and doctorate in special education. He worked in the Denver public school system and trained other teachers on how to best care for kids with disabilities in the city. He was also involved in several Jewish nonprofit entities such as Bnai Brith, the local Federation, and many more. Marvin gives his take on the world and is still a staunch believer in the nation and a true mensh.
