Kids was launched at six
hospitals. The team has
since added two new drivers
— Yale Conley and Jeff
• Davis — and expanded to
other cities. Hoechst-Roussel
• Pharmaceuticals Inc. and
Comp USA, a computer

sponsors for Mr. Buhl and
have donated products to pa-
tients and the children's

Today, posters of Mr. Buhl

and three children, pro-
moting Racing for Kids, sit
on Dr. Pinsky's desk at
Children's Hospital. His
walls are covered with rac-
-. schedules and photos;
magazines like Road and
` Track and Car and Driver
rest on a coffee table near
the couch.

said he has loved racing
since he was a child. But it
wasn't until 1988 that he at-
tended his first racing
school. Since then, he has
participated in a number of
races.
He drives a formula Ford
that can reach up to 125
miles an hour (Indianapolis-
type cars top 200). It's a ride
he labels unforgettable.
"It's like you're wearing
the car," he said. "In most
cars, you get in and there's a
lot of space, with the driver's
seat next to you .. .
"But in this car, you're in
the center and the wheels
are right in front of you.
Even when you're going 30,
it feels like it's 200. The sen-
sation is just exhil-
arating." ❑

"Federation housing is
more than housing," said
Patricia A. Milner, ad-

ognition that the elderly are
a part of the community and
have a significant role to
play in the community."
Rose Kaplan, workshop

over the years, staff and vol-
unteers were busy making
sure there would be enough
solid, affordable housing for
seniors.
"It was a hard struggle in
the beginning," said Mrs.
Kaplan, former director of
professional services at the
Jewish Family Service, "but
now that we're assured of
enough buildings and
facilities, we can spend more
time and focus more on the
building of families."

buildings include the Pren-
tis and Teitel buildings in
Oak Park, and a soon to be
completed addition to the
Hechtman Apartments in
West Bloomfield.

share those memories to
identify who we are," said
Elaine Friedman, coor-
dinator of residential ser-
vices at Prentis Apartments.
"We want to preserve our
history and determine how
we would like to be re-
membered.
"Seniors are the repository
of our past and the
transmitters of our values
and traditions," she add-
ed. Ill
