“It’s really very informative,” Forman said.
A month ago, Forman and his family celebrated his birthday
in a private room at a diner. His daughter, Tami Brauer, had to
reserve the room because Forman wanted to play the game with
his children and grandchildren.
At first, Brauer was like, “Really?” But over a couple of hours,
Forman asked questions and danced. And the whole family
laughed and did their best to answer.
“We loved watching him do that,” Brauer said.
Forman plans on continuing the games for as long as he can
at KleinLife. At 89, he is still sharp and active, according to
his daughters.
He still does his own grocery shopping and goes to the library
each week to research new categories.
“His brain is functioning amazingly,” Brauer said. “He knows
way more about life than I do.”
Contestants tell Forman the same thing.
“They’re amazed at some of the things I teach them. (They say)
‘I never knew that,’” Forman said.
“I’m satisfied,” he concluded. l
