New year,
new home.
Forman has accumulated 15 books that hold about
85 topics each. He tries his best to never repeat
questions. “It gives me something to do, and I enjoy people,
and I enjoy conversing with them and getting them
all excited,” the retired biology teacher said. “I have
one guy who calls me every Monday, and I have
to go through old books and play the game over
the phone.”
Carol J. Robins, like most contestants, attends the
game every week. She said she finds it educational
and good for the memory.
She also said it’s nice to see people and laugh. But
perhaps more than anything, it’s the host who keeps
her coming back.
“He comes up with these very interesting topics,”
Robins added. “It’s like he’s still teaching.”
Forman retired from his teaching position at
Samuel Fels High School in Philadelphia at age 62.
For years, he enjoyed life as a retiree. Forman
and his wife, Kay Forman, took trips and attended
Broadway shows.
But when Kay Forman came down with demen-
tia, the couple had to find an activity close to home
that could help. That was when they started going
to KleinLife.
Months later, KleinLife Program Director Shelley
Ring in the New Year by saying “bye-bye”
to housework and “hello” to doing your
own thing. Whether it’s socializing, traveling,
exercising, or just relaxing, you can have your
style of fun at The Landing of Towamencin.
