Ms Socolofsky was only my viola teacher for one year and was one of the toughest teachers I had in my life. She demanded hard work and instilled a level of excellence in me that I didn't fully appreciate until mich later in life. I am only finding this 9 years late but want to thank her for what she was able to teach me in that short period of time.

Mrs. Soc was an inspiration and taking lessons with her was the bright spot in my week. She was truly one-of-a-kind. My condolences and deepest sympathies are with her family as they go through this difficult time.

My family, the Henderson family of Turnersville, NJ, knew this wonderful woman, musician and educator through her professional association with our father, Harold W. Henderson, Sr., (deceased 2004). former Vocal Director and music teacher at Glassboro High School, and through dear mutual friends, Earl and Mary Saul, also formerly of Glassboro.
