Doctor Turns From Patients To Paint Brush Still a bundle of energy at 71, Dr. Aaron Spirer has turned from his medical practice on the lower cast side of New York City to award-winning oil painting in Delray Beach, Florida. Born in America to an Austrian father and a Hun­ garian mother Dr. Spirer returned to Hungary with his mother when he was five and didn't return for 10 years. "When I came back I couldn't speak English." Dr. Spirer told a writer from The National Council on the Aging. He overcame that ob­ stacle, however, and after graduating from Long Island University, he found it cheaper to go to medical school in Budapest, Hun­ gary. "I can remember listen­ ing to lectures in Hungarian and taking notes in Eng­ lish," Dr. Spirer said. He returned to the U.S. 'Resist temptation? I can't even find any!' just as Hitler was starting to dominate Europe and served in the Army Medical Corps, eventually landing in Francc where he adminis­ tered aid close to the front lines.

After he was wounded, Dr. Spirer was returned to New York \yhere he mar­ ried his wife, Naomi, and opened his medical practice. "When I first started my patients were poor Euro­ pean immigrants," Dr. Spirer said, "but gradually the neighborhood got very rough." In 1959, two weeks after he was robbed at gun point, Dr. Spirer had his first heart attack. Three months later l ie was back at work. After his second heart at­ tack in 1970, which fol­ lowed another holdup and a series of burglaries, Dr. Spirer decided to retire. "Physically, emotionally and mentally I was worn out," he said. Gradually, he trimmed his patient load of around 240 a week down to 40. This wasn't enough work for the energetic doctor, so he returned to medical studies and piled up 400 credit hours. By 1973, with his prac­ tice about one-sixth what it had been and the neighbor­ hood not showing signs of improving. Dr. Spirer closed his office and moved to Florida. How does he like his new life? "I won't tell you 1 don't miss my practice because it was such a big part of my life," Dr. Spirer said. "But I'm happy here and I'm glad 1 have the chance to express myself through painting at long last. I never had time for it when I was younger." Dr. Spirer is making up for lost time. He won first prize in a Greater New York Senior Citizens Art Exhibit in 1971 and has also re­ ceived a three year art scholarship. "I've always been impa­ tient," Dr. Spirer said. "I've always wanted to learn about everything.'1 That's why he crammed three years' worth of study into eight months. "You know, I always tell my wife and friends to do things now and not wait un­ til tomorrow," Dr. Spirer said, adding after a pause, "Why waste time?" A RECENT SURVEY by the American Institutes for Research found that the average age at retirement is 60.9 years. But the survey also found that in the future more individuals may delay their retirement. In all, SECTION 2 - PAGE 3 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. JUNE 15,1879 1,000 persons between 40 and 69 years of age were questioned about their re­ tirement plans. Those near- ing retirement were asked if they would stay on the job past 65 because of a 3 per­ cent boost in Social Security payments for each year worked beyond that age. Twenty-three percent said they would "consider" post­ poning retirement. GERRY JOHNSON IS looking for people to profile in GOING STRONG.
