Born on August 15th, 1898, in Toledo, Ohio, Gloria's mother, Ruth Nuneviller, attended the university there. While working on the student newspaper, The Teaser, she not only met Gloria's father, but she also played a ground breaking role. -

What's that? We miraculously somehow found, The Teaser. -

Man

That's the school paper of the University of Toledo. -

Gloria

I didn't know my mother was editor in chief. -

Man

Mm. Oh that's fascinating. She was the first female editor in chief. -

Gloria

That is totally amazing, thank you so much. I didn't know that, I didn't know that. She never told me that. -
