Steve Job's Biological Mother Was From Green Bay, WI - Who knew?
An article in today's Green Bay Press Gazette highlights a little known fact about Steve Jobs' biological mother being a schoolteacher from the Green Bay area. Jobs has no real connection to GB - having not been born here (and I can't image why he'd ever have visited) but it's interesting folklore nonetheless.
The biological mother was 23-year-old Joanne Schieble, Giese's aunt, whose family owned a mink farm at what's now the site of the east-side Wal-Mart on the Bellevue-Green Bay border. Jobs' father was Abdulfattah Jandali, a native of Syria and also 23.
Schieble and Jandali were students at the University of Wisconsin in Madison at the time, and with society as it was in 1955, they had gone to California to secretly have the baby — unknown to the family, Giese said.
