A graduate of The Park School of Buffalo in 1966 and Boston University in 1970, Patty Cohen Gelman returned to Buffalo to teach Language Arts and Social Studies at Park School; married Warren Gelman in 1972; raised three daughters; and worked in the development office at Park as the Alumni Director. After her breast-cancer experience in 2002, Patty wrote her book Humor After the Tumor because she is a strong believer in the healing power of sharing stories. As a breast-cancer advocate, she welcomes opportunities to speak to groups as she offers encouragement and helps raise awareness.
