SYLVIA K. POLGAR

I just learned of Sylvia's passing. We taught together in the School of Social Work at UNC-CH, arriving there within a year or so of each other. We were 2 of 3 or 4 faculty teaching interdisciplinary social science courses. She was a wonderful colleague- wise and knowledgeable, just plain fun to be with, and a good friend. I picture Sylvia at her desk creating a huge pile of sunflower seed hulls, during a time when she was trying (successfully I think) to quit smoking. Many fond memories...

I just saw the post by Michael Polgar of a month ago--so long after Sylvia's passing. I just thought of her a while ago and want to add my words of condolence. I knew Sylvia way back--when we were both grad students at Columbia. She was smart and witty and a good friend. I understand why you would still be missing her. As you say, Her memory is a blessing. As is Steven's, who left us so long ago.

We miss Sylvia Polgar Ph.D. every year at this time. Her memory is a blessing.

My deepest sypmpathies are extended to Sylvia's family and friends. For many years I was privileged to work with her on SEC's Client Rights Committee. I shall miss her humor, warmth and wise counsel. She was a very special person and a source of constant inspiration.

Condolences to the family. We served on the So. Eastern Mental Health Board for a number of years and became professional friend. She was a Lady with a strong personality and convictions. Will always remember the story of her travels in Europe especially the train ride in Spain, She will be missed at the board meetings and in this community.

Dr. Polgar served on the Board of Southeastern Center for MH/DD/SAS from June 91' to 12/07, at which time she resigned due to her health. Dr. Polgar was such a warm and caring lady. After hearing that I had breast cancer in March 07, Dr. Polgar was the first person on our Board to give me a hug and offer her assistance. She will be missed in this community; she was one of a kind. My deepest sympathy to her family. (Clerk to the Board of SEC)
