Through personal stories and vivid memories, he captures the challenges, humor, and deep human connections that shaped his life as a teacher. He will also introduce his forthcoming companion volume, Gulls of 9th Avenue, offering a glimpse into the next chapter of his journey.

During this engaging program, Marc will read a selected passage from his work, discuss the experiences behind the stories, and take questions from the audience. Copies of his books will be available for purchase, and Marc will be signing following the talk.
