Jeffrey W. Meyers ’70

Jeff Meyers died on Oct. 11, 1999, of acute kidney and liver failure following a brief illness in his lifelong hometown of Omaha.

He came to Princeton from Westside H.S. While on campus, he majored in philosophy, and served on several campus committees and as an officer of Quadrangle Club. He also was the station manager of WPRB his senior year. That, however, was not his crowning achievement at the station. As Rod St. John, a subtle combination of Dan Ingram, Wolfman Jack, and Bozo the Clown, he illuminated the New Jersey airwaves for four years. His photo, kibitzing on-air with radio legend Jean Shepherd during our senior year, still graces the WPRB lobby and will for many years more. Shep himself died five days after Jeff.

Jeff was a highly accomplished attorney. First in his class at Nebraska law school, he clerked for the Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court before joining Frost, Meyers, Govier and Milone, where he was managing partner at the time of his death.
