'Fuss' bewilders good Samaritan, May 1st, 1985
By Bill JACKSON, Greeley Tribune Staff Writer
Ruth VanTINE, right, gets a hug from longtime friend and Greeley resident Mary OLSEN at her retirement reception Thursday.
Ruth Van TINE enjoyed herself Thursday afternoon, but said she had a hard time understanding what "all the fuss is about." The "fuss" is about Van TINE's five-plus decades of dedication to the hearing and speech field. She was a professor of communication disorders at the University of Northern Colorado and was honored Thursday at a reception attended by many of her former colleagues and other friends. UNC professor Ray HULL describes Van TINE as an outstanding professional who overcame her own hearing difficulties to become a pioneer in the field. She's been hearing impaired since age 20, but that hasn't stopped her in terms of her professional growth and development, HULL said. "She's really an inspiration to others that a person can overcome their handicap."
HULL is a former chairman of the department of communication disorders at UNC. The 8O-year-old Van TINE has lived in Greeley since 1951. She was the first special education teacher and first speech therapist for Greeley-Evans School District #6, she was a founder and first president of the Colorado Speech-Language-Hearing Association; and she was one of the first professors of speech-language pathology at UNC, Colorado State University and the University of Wyoming. Vall TINE "retired" in 1971. In her retirement, however, she has continued to help senior citizens and anyone else with hearing problems who needed her special help. Van TINE earned a bachelor's degree in primary education and music from the Colorado State College of Education (UNC) in 1935. She specialized in education, speech pathology andaudiology and clinical psychology to earn a master's degree from Denver Iniversity in 1948 She started losing her hearing as a young first-grade teacher on the Western Slop. Surgery corrected the problem for the next 15 to 18 years. But she recalls the first hearing aid she was required to wear.
It was a huge, cumbersome bum-of-a-deal and hearing aids back then were not accepted, Van TINE said. She said she styled her hair to hide the device and hid cords from a 45-volt battery with her clothing. Then the veterans started coming back from the war (World War II) and many of them had hearing aids. Soon after that a hearing impairment was not considered a severe handicap and I became one of the most popular girls in school, because everybody wanted to have their hearing tested. Van TINE said with a laugh. I've enjoyed my professional career, but it was a challenge at times. And now I get to see children of children I've taught over the years. "It's very special" Van TINE said. The UNC reception was conducted in conjunction with National Better Hearing and Speech Month, celebrated in May.
