The Oakland edition carries a feature on Peter Lichtenberg, director of WSU's Institute of Gerontology (IOG) and recipient of a statewide award from the Michigan Society of Gerontology earlier this month for his work to help Michiganders have better lives as they age. "Lichtenberg is nationally prominent for helping to bring tens of millions of dollars in grants to Wayne State since taking the top job at the Institute of Gerontology in 1998," writes Bill Laitner. The IOG director, who notes he has "a love and rapport" with older people, offers various suggestions throughout the article on how to keep the mind and body younger. The author of a widely acclaimed book, "Handbook of Dementia," he speaks frequently before local seniors groups to give helpful advice. "Even if you put it off until 70, the benefits of exercise and a new hobby are still there," he points out. A sidebar includes tips from Lichtenberg on how families can best assist aging parents and others. A photo of him with his 24-month-old daughter accompanies the story.
