/ PAGE 3 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, JANUARY «, 1978 Still A Dynamo At 75 Some people are so busy in retirement it's hard to tell they're not working any­ more. Take Howard Reic of Portland, Maine, for e ample, who was recently named "man of the year" by the Portland Kiwanis Club. At 75, Reiche is going in more directions than a one- man band. A native of Portland, Reiche has been an educa­ tor for all of his working life. After graduation from the University of Maine, Reiche took a job teaching science at Portland High School in 1925. After teach­ ing in a number of other cities, Reiche was named principal of Portland High ia,Js£47, a job he kept until he retired in 1972. ||"i^Ouid never stay out oi education completely," Reiche told a writer from The National Council on the Aging. That's one of the reasons he now counsels student teachers from the Univer­ sity of Maine who ^pend eight weeks teaching in Portland schools as part of their training. Despite his love of teach­ ing, Reiche is no shy, single- tracked scholar. "I still ski every week during the winter," he said modestly. "I'm not as reck­ less as I used to be but I can still get down the mountain." In reality, Reiche is still an expert, dedicated skier and was one of the founders of the Portland area's Na­ tional Ski Patrol. He's no slouch in the water, either, having been a lifeguard and Red Cross water safety and first aid instructor. If you call the Reiche home and Laura, his wife of life. To, him, being busy isn't unusual at all. That's the way he'll always be. . * - by Gerry Johnson y J IN DAYTONA BEACH, the Daytona Community Hospital is extending until December 31 its experi­ mental program designed to give financial assistance to older citizens by absorbing the current hospital deduct­ ible of $124 for Medicare Part A coverage. "Our Senior Citizens Courtesy Program has been tremendously successful since its inception last Feb­ ruary and has been of as­ sistance to more than 500 patients,n said hospital ad­ ministrator Charles Duscha. The program originally was scheduled to end August 31. Any person 65 or over qualifies for the program even if they are not eligible for Medicare benefits. The hospital subtracts up to $124 from that portion ̂ bf the bill not covered by Medicare for qualified pa­ tients. This also applies to patients who have supple­ mental hospital insurance. Hospital administrators interested in obtaining addi- tional information about the program can write to: Charles Duscha, Daytona Community Hospital, 400 N. Clyde Morris Blvd., Day- tofta Beach, Fla. 32020. 50 years answers the phone, you're likely to hear organ music in the background. If you do, it's Howard Reiche, playing what Mrs. Reiche refers to as "our morning worship service." Mr. Reiche will tell you that "I just like to &et my fingers loosened up before I go to work." During the 1920s Reiche, who also plays piano, had his own band. Today, he's much in demand to play for shut-ins at various institu­ tions--requests which he gladly fulfills. He also plays in a piano quartet and is a member of the Sixty Plus Orchestra. And one mustn't forget his activities on behalf of the Red Cross, the YMCA, service organizations, the Portland Public Library and his church. In his spare time Reiche pursues his interest in geology with the Coastal Maine Mineral Club and the Maine Mineralogical and Geological Association.' Lately, he's been compiling information on early public schools in Portland. Reiche's range of inter­ ests is enough to keep any two people -- young or old -- from getting bored or lazy. What does he attribute his seemingly boundless energy to? He answers jokingly, as if embarrassed that anyone would find his activity-filled life unusual. "It must be the Yankee diet I've eaten all my life," he said. "I drink milk, eat beans on Satur­ day and eat a little Maine lobster." Although he didn't say it, Howard Reiche has obvi­ ously been a dynamo all his MR. CHAIRMAN....
