Marcia Sokolowski

Family: 9 year old son Corey (I’ve got to win the oldest mom contest on this one!!!) who of course is adorable, delightful, smarter and almost taller than me!

5 year old cat who looks like he’s wearing a black tux and a white shirt

1 year old dog who quacks like a dog and honks like a goose

A very big lizard who hates me and is currently trying out his new foster home at PJ pet shop (trust me it’s best if you don’t adopt him)

Career: Medical Ethicist at Baycrest and at the Joint Centre for Bioethics, University of Toronto

Yes still working on my phd in philosophy, tho hope to complete it in this calendar year

Practised clinical and educational psychology for a zillion years before going back to study philosophy

Hobbies: Who has time?!?!?

Has done some fun travel to Belize, Thailand, Costa Rica, Iceland (when were you there Rosemary?), Mexico, parts of Europe, yoga retreats, Pilates, scrabble, hiking

Friends: Years of laughter and hangin’ with Cindy Fromstein, so excited when I get to see Ellen Goldberg and Ellie Greenspoon (wish they both lived here more full time), love to shmooze with Marilyn and Ettie Morgan in Florida, and I absolutely loved meeting up with the rest of our gang at our last reunion!

Memories: Walking to school with first day jitters with Rosemary Sylman (I still remember your mohair sweater!), laughing till I cried with Cindy Walton, wearing Jeff Burke’s ID bracelet for about one minute while we were “going around”; stashing Howard Sone’s used pez wrapper in my diary cuz I had a crush on him (I think I still have the wrapper), getting shit from my parents for never going to school as reported on every meet the teachers night when the teachers confused me with Cindy Fromstein; hanging out with Ellie Greenspoon all the time and our secretly spying on her sister Carol when she got “pinned” and worried she couldn’t be in love cuz she was not feeling too faint or lighthearted to eat!

So excited to see you all in June!!
