Beyond the Pops

Marjorie is married to cellist Jonathan Fink and they have two adult children, Ben and Hannah, and two fur children, Daisy the dog and Tulip the cat. Ben is autistic so every step of the way in his young life has been full of challenges but also full of successes. We are so proud of Ben who has a degree from Drexel in Health Sciences. Hannah is our feisty triple threat who graduated from Montclair with a BFA in Musical Theater, one of our greatest joys has been watching her shine on stage!
