I became principal and president in 1987. It is a small brokerage, and doesn't always make a lot of money, she said. However, friends who nominated Margolis-Wizen to the Hall of Fame talk about her giving, not her career. She has taken young people into her office and given them the opportunity to work in a stock brokerage. That's a wonderful thing.
Education is so expensive.
The women's group is the Financial Women's Association of New York, and it provides scholarships to young people from disadvantaged homes, to mature women going back to school and to second year MBA students, Margolis-Wizen said. Margolis-Wizen said Johnston and classmate Rita Kelly were role models for her, as was a former teacher, Mildred Bjornstad, now retired and living in Ann Arbor. She was an absolutely wonderful, wonderful teacher. I can't give her enough praise. They get involved in community activities, and Susan, especially, is always there for other people.
