For Openers
Senior Stars
hatever you do, don't call
them old. Abe Ulanoff, 86,
might invite you for a
"quick little walk" with him,
and Dr. Gerald Krause, 79, might stick a
tennis racquet in your hand and make a lit-
tle side bet.
Both men captured medals at the nation-
HARRY
al Senior Olympics in Hampton Roads,
KIRSBAUM Va., on May 27.
Driving back to Southfield from his win-
StaffW•iter
ter home in Florida, Ulanoff dropped in on
the national Senior Olympics and drove
away 13 days later with three medals.
"I beat the other old guys, the alter kockers," he joked.
With a time of 10:58, Ulanoff broke the Senior
Olympic record for the 1,500-meter race walk by over a
minute. He also won the 5,000-meter race walk, and took
home a bronze in singles tennis.
In all, he has about 50 medals and trophies on a wall of
fame he started at the young age of 66.
He's been playing in the Senior Olympics for about 20
years, but this was the first time he went to the nationals,
he said.
Born and raised in Detroit, Ulanoff never played sports
in school. He fought in World War II, then joined the
post office where he worked until he retired about 20 years
ago. He's been wearing out sneakers ever since.
He plans to appear at the Michigan Senior Olympics in
Lansing in August.
Dr. Krause took home a bronze medal in tennis in the
75- to 80-year-old category.
Winning the bronze is "quite exciting," said Dr. Krause,
a retired dentist who lives in Arizona and summers in
Bloomfield Hills.
He took bronze by winning four out of five matches.
He has entered the Senior Olympics for the last 10
years, but doesn't have a wall of fame to hold his medals.
"I give them away to my grandchildren," he said. "But
I'm hanging on to this bronze: ❑

Quotables
"We need to remember that Jews who
are intermarried are still Jews. We
should not reject them. Generally
speaking, we should be inclusive of
the non-Jewish members of the family
... in any area that will not be a
breach of Halachah [Jewish law]."
— Rabbi David Steinhardt of frnai
Torah Congregation, Boca Raton, Fla.,
in the article "Outreach To the
Intermarried" in the spring issue of the
United Synagogue of Conservative
Judaism Review.
