Passcode: 234399

Paul SteinbokTony DuMoulin, and Rosa Tesler (Chuly) will share thoughts on how they rewired after retirement and what continues to inspire them.

 Cosponsored by Jewish Family Services (JFS)

 

Paul Steinbok

Dr. Paul Steinbok is a retired Pediatric Neurosurgeon, Head Emeritus of Neurosurgery at BC Children’s Hospital and Professor Emeritus of Surgery at UBC. He was born in Barbados and went to medical school at the University of the West Indies in Jamaica, where he became interested in photography. After medical school, his passion for photography continued and he has been able to combine photography with his extensive travels to all continents of this world, including Antarctica. After retirement from active Neurosurgery in 2017, and especially with the Covid 19 restrictions, he has become more involved with photography, especially as an art form.

 

Tony DuMoulin

Tony DuMoulin was born and raised in Vancouver, practiced law here for 40 years, and retired 10 years ago. He has served on the boards and executives of many non-profits over the years. Currently he is a board and executive committee member of Jewish Seniors’ Alliance, and serve as chair of its Advocacy Committee. He has a wife, two daughters and five grandchildren with whom he is fortunate to be able to share much joyful time.

 

Rosa Tesler (Chuly)

Rosa and her family immigrated to Canada in 1976. They spent 3 years in Winnipeg before relocating to Vancouver in 1979.  Prior to leaving Argentina, Rosa earned a BA in psychology from the National University of Buenos Aires, kept busy as a homemaker and volunteer while her husband practiced as a psychiatrist.  In Canada, Rosa undertook training that allowed her to work in early childhood education and counselling.  She chose to retire in 2018 after a lengthy career at the Chimo Crisis Center where she specialized in working with abused women.
