Editor, Manteca Bulletin,In 1986, Ronald Reagan was president, NASA had just recruited the first teacher to go to space, Christy McAuliffe, and Manteca Unified had hired its first female high school social science teacher — me. I had just completed my student teaching with Michael Zugnoni at East Union and now was I was going to teach at EU. Dick Durham was the principal, Dino Cunial was department chair, and Grady Lee and Nick Dillis were to be my mentors. I had entered their all male world with panty hose and pumps!
Its been an honor to serve Manteca
