Lillian went on to be- come a teacher of special education in Detroit and Southfield .._. . and Art entered the Army . . . re- turning to also become a teacher. In the late '40s, Art's brother Marcus, who had returned from the 15th Air Force in Italy, met Lillian at the student center of Wayne University . . . began dating . . . and eventually Art was made Lillian's brother-in- law. Mark is today a highly- regarded tax attorney in the law offices of Plotkin, Yol- les, Siegel, Schultz & Polk, P.C. . . . but a very large void remains in his life .. . Last September, Lillian passed on after 34 years of marriage. Her dedication and com- passion for children with special needs was enormous . . . working many hours after school and showing her concern with individual attention for the youngsters. Mark and her fellow teachers wanted to do some- thing perpetuating Lillian's memory . . . and so was born the Lillian Plotkin Memo- rial Fund at Southfield Pub- lic Schools, which will be in- itiated, April 8, 2 p.m., at Southfield - Lathrup High Auditorium. Norman Plotkin, son of Mark and Lil, will close the program with presentation of a check from dad and their three children, Nor- man, Carrie and Sanford .. . Proceeds will go to the SCAMP program for dis- abled children . . . and to the Orchards, a program spon- sored by National Council of Jewish Women for support of emotionally disturbed children . . . Reception will follow . . . with refresh- ments. Lillian was a very won- derful person . . . and Mark is a real swell guy who I have had the pleasure of knowing for many years.
