Dr. Marion Bergman and Stanley Bergman offer a moving reflection on their journey spanning over 50 years. They emphasize the power of steadfast support and collaboration in their personal and professional endeavors.
Marion and Stanley: More than 50 years ago, we met as students at The University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in Johannesburg, South Africa. In those five decades, we finished our undergraduate education, married, left our home country for the United Kingdom, resettled in the United States, raised two sons, welcomed two terrific daughters-in-law and their families who in turn expanded our family with five grandchildren, and along the way built two satisfying professional careers. Navigating the paths of our lives was only possible through a strong allyship and partnership that encouraged and supported our individual and shared dreams.
