The University of Toledo Medical Center in June opened its Senior Behavioral Health Center, a medical program that monitors the health of adult patients 55 years and older who are experiencing emotional or behavioral health issues.

Partnered with Horizon Health Services, the center investigates the source of health issues and diagnoses the problem.

The new Center differs from other geriatric care facilities because it

thoroughly tests all aspects of the patient’s condition, including prior and current health issues, medications and lifestyle choices to fix the problem, and provides a positive outcome for the patient, explained Carol Schaaf, the center’s program director.

The Center also is available to present mental health educational programs in the community free of charge. 3000 Arlington Ave, Toledo. 419-383-4000. utmc.utoledo.edu

Mental health agencies merge Harbor and Behavioral Connections of Wood County are merging effective July 1, forming a partnership that will broaden the scope of services available to current and future clients.

Harbor is the largest mental health provider in Northwest Ohio, and Behavioral Connections is a comprehensive agency providing treatment for mental health and substance abuse to Wood County residents. Together, the two agencies combined have 23 locations and over 650 employees in Lucas, Wood and Defiance counties.

“The expertise of both organizations are complementary, which allows us to continue to enhance the quality and depth of the care the community will receive,” said John Sheehan, Harbor CEO. 6629 West Central Avenue, Toledo.

COVER STORY

s s e n t i W ry to histo

tions ver Star for D-Day ac Sil on w an ter ve l ca Lo

BY DAVID YONKE

This article is written in honor of those who fought in D-Day, 70 years ago on June 6, 1944.

F

rank Kocinski has had five hip replacements and hopes to have both knees replaced, but his aching joints haven’t slowed him down much.

The 91-year-old retired millwright and World War II hero, who earned a Silver Star for bravery on D-Day, still tends a backyard garden and enjoys bowling every week. In a recent interview in the Sylvania Township home he built with his own hands in 1946, he cracked a smile when bragging that he had won four bowling games the day before.

He’s also built two boats in his barn, saying, “There’s nothing beyond reach for me.”

Kocinski grew up in Swanton and worked on a farm to help his family pay the bills after his father died when Frank was 9.

He played football at Swanton High School, where he met the love of his life, Zelah. The couple celebrated their 67th anniversary this year.

Reporting for duty Kocinski was drafted by the Army in December, 1942, and reported for duty the following January to Camp Swift, Texas. He was trained as a combat engineer and later as an amphibious engineer with the 147th Special Engineering Brigade.

His Landing Craft Infantry (LCI) No. 99, an amphibious troop transport ship, was among the first to arrive on Omaha Beach on D-Day, June 6, 1944.

While the military’s top brass had planned

Kocinski.

He had been in the ship’s forward hold when scores of soldiers became seasick in the rough seas. When he went above deck to get some fresh air, a lieutenant ordered him to go back down. He tried to obey but was repelled by the smell. turned “I around and slammed the door shut—and that’s when the shell hit the hold,” Kocinski said. “Killed every person in there.”

The LCI had ramps on each side that were raised during transport and would lower for beach landings. “Before we could stop, the Germans blew the ramps off with 88s [88mm guns],” Kocinski said as he and Zelah looked through a scrapbook of his Army days.

A platoon sergeant, he was to lead 44 men onto the beach. Machine-gun bullets were zipping past the ship. “I had to dive into the ocean and get the heck out of there before we

would get shot up by the Germans.”

He had two bands of ammunition over his shoulders and carried seven hand grenades and 40 pounds of exgas mask held his head up floating A s. plosive but his “Mae West” life vest couldn’t handle the weight, so he ditched the gear and swam to shore.

“By the time I got halfway to the beach, the ship caught fire from front to back,” Kocinski said. “Most of the guys got off of there pretty healthy, but some of them got burnt pretty seriously.” The cause Frank Kocinski of the ship fire was never determined, he added.

Once he reached the shore, Nazi machine gunners zeroed in on his platoon.

“I think I lost 16 men right off the bat, and it was very disorganized with all this going on. I’d been machine-gunned about seven or eight times going across that beach and they missed me every time,” Kocinski said.

They didn’t miss by much.

“I had a bullet go through the webbing on my helmet. I had one bullet flip my first-aid pack upside down. I got one through the sole of my boot,” he said.

“There’s nothing beyond reach for me.”–

World War II Memories

BY DAVID YONKE PROF. JOSEPH SOMMERVILLE, 87, MONCLOVA TOWNSHIP

I was drafted after a year at Morehouse College. I had tried to get out of being drafted but it didn’t work (laughs). I was stationed in western Germany. I was a staff sergeant for an allblack company. The Army was segregated then. We maintained support for the fighting men. Germany was more or less devastated by bombing. The German citizens were in dire straits. They were hanging around our facilities, hoping for anything you had.

We used to give them chocolate.

JULIAN “J.B.” BROWN, 89, DUNDEE, MI

I was in World War II and the Korean War. I joined the Navy when I was 16. I like the water. I don’t like foxholes. I was stationed on a seaplane tender, the USS Mackinac (AVP-13).

We were in the Pacific Theater and went to all the islands — Saipan, Guam… I was a cook. I played it smart. I also was a loader on a quad-40, a four-barrel 40mm gun. There were some scary moments at Saipan. Tracer bullets were flying over our heads. I saw some Japanese planes shot down. That was exciting, to tell you the truth. Our ship was a quarter mile from the USS Missouri, where they signed the peace treaty. We went to Nagasaki and I took photos from the ship after the atomic bomb. The destruction was unbelievable.

and swam out there and grabbed him by the collar and drug him to safety,” he said.

Ironically, he added, it was a soldier who once threatened to shoot him for putting him on KP duty.

Kocinski sprinted toward the sand dunes as the Nazi gunners strafed the beach, splashing sand into his eyes. He estimated that it took 15 to 20 minutes from the time he dived into the ocean until he reached the safety of the dunes, where he teamed up with another soldier.

Both of them were shivering from the cold, but were ready for the next task. “I says, ‘You know we are going to go nuts sitting over here.

Let’s get over the hill and do something,’” Kocinski recalled.

They broke into a house the Germans had just abandoned and found a cache of rifle grenades. “I took the rifle grenades … and I shot my way back through the tunnels, and we would blow the Germans out of them,” Kocinski said.

His Silver Star commendation cited his “personal bravery and valor” for volunteering to clear the tunnels of Nazi snipers.

Kocinski, who has been to France three times for D-Day anniversaries, said he just did what he had to do. “You get seriously scared and you can’t control your emotions. I mean, you didn’t just sit there and cry,” he said.

Zelah smiled and patted his arm.

“We’re very proud of him,” she said. “I think he’s one awesome dude.”

GUADALUPE “LUPE” FLORES, JR., 90, TOLEDO

I was in the 101st Army Airborne. We parachuted behind the enemy lines in France on D-Day. The Germans had flooded the swamps. I just did my duty. You have a mission and you follow through—and hope for the best. When I landed, I was with the 182nd because the place was in chaos. Even the generals didn’t know what was going on. I saw some action but not as much as I saw in the Battle of the Bulge. That was the toughest battle for me. We were surrounded, 8 divisions to 1. It was freezing cold. The snow was a foot deep. We slept on top of it for 35 days. I got wounded—shot in the arm when I was crossing a railroad track.

WILLIAM FINZEL, 87, TOLEDO

I was living in Germany. My father was an American and my mother was German. She wouldn’t leave Germany as long as her mother was alive. When I was 30 months old, my father took me to Berlin and registered me as an American citizen, so I had dual citizenship. …

In 1944, I was 16 years old, when I got a letter saying I was drafted by the German army. … They told me I had two choices, to go into the army or go to Dachau [concentration camp] where I would be hanged. I reported for basic training, and after a short time they sent me to the Russian front. They were not stupid.

The German army was already in full retreat. I spent two winters and one summer on the front. … When I reached the Elbe River, I surrendered to the Americans.

Nobody blamed me for joining the German army instead of going to Dachau.

RELATIONSHIPS Can your marriage survive retirement?

How to not live ‘unhappily ever after’

by Linda Tippett “For better and for worse, but not for lunch!”

This often-heard lament from wives of newly retired husbands can take on new meaning as the realization of endless togetherness begins to sink in.

We’ve all been led to believe retirement is the ideal stage of life where stress and worry are replaced with peace and joy. And it usually is … for the first couple months. Once the “honeymoon” ends, reality comes creeping in, particularly for couples who haven’t discussed how retiring at the same or different times will impact their life together.

Many long-married couples take it for granted that when one of them retires, the other will retire at the same time, or soon thereafter, and their lives will be wonderful and fulfilling. Yet studies show less than 20 percent of

couples retire in the same year. This means many are out of sync right out of the gate.

Check your expectations The problem starts for many couples when they don’t have the same expectations of retirement. Then it gets exacerbated when they don’t talk about it. For some people this is a long-awaited time for new adventures, new or deeper connections with loved ones and discovering a new purpose.

For others it means a lot of time relaxing, in the hammock, at the computer or on the golf course.

To keep from driving each other crazy, couples need a mutually acceptable game plan. They need to discuss how they want to spend their time, including their time together. These talks should begin long before retirement.

For retiring men, marriage is a good thing. He has a ready companion, a source of emotional support, and some continuity in a disrupted life–if his marriage is good. If it’s not, he and his wife might find that retirement challenges their relationship even more.

Stress in good marriages Even in a good marriages, two people spending day after day in close proximity can be stressful. Retirement can often make men feel lost, lonely, and over-dependent on their spouses to keep them socially connected. On the other hand, many women worry about losing their personal time and space, having their spending restricted, or being constantly questioned about where they are going or what they’re doing.

Not only that, but some husbands, having held supervisory positions, try to get involved for the first time—you might say interfere with—in household management, which can be sure to ignite angry sparks in the relationship.

However, building a comfortable relationship in retirement that’s fulfilling for each partner can be done, with a bit of work.

Here are some suggestions: • Understanding what each partner expects of the other can ward off disappointments. For example, discuss joint and individual activities, and keep a calendar of these so there are no surprises.

• Pursue your own interests and maintain some separate friendships. Along with ensuing emotional well-being, the time you spend apart gives you something to talk about when you’re together.

• Establish separate territories in the home so you don’t keep running into each other. If you have your own pursuits and hobbies, do them in your

www.mlivingnews.com

own rooms. Without individual space, you and your partner are much more likely to feel as though you’re intruding or being intruded on, and as a result are more likely to get on each other’s nerves.

• Finally, know you’re not alone.

Lots of happily married couples run into obstacles–and being aware of it adds a sense of normalcy to the event.

If the situation becomes stressful, it doesn’t necessarily mean your marriage is falling apart, but it should alert you that it’s worth the effort to face all issues early. It’s better to deal with them when they’re minor annoyances instead of letting them fester and become major sources of conflict.

As the needlepoint pillow on one retired couple’s sofa says, “Retirement is not for sissies.”

HEALTH

The benefits of

Chocolate Sweet treat can help your health

Are vitamins neccesary?

Supplements can fill holes in modern diets

by Alice Marson

by Alice Marson Vitamins and dietary supplements are a $30 billion industry and approximately 50 percent of all adults consume at least one supplement daily, according to numerous surveys. But are supplements necessary for people who eat a balanced diet?

Malnutrition in America is caused by a variety of factors, not just a poor balance of nutrition but also by the ramifications of commercial farming, chemical usage, genetically modified organisms (GMO) or genetically engineered (GE) foods, and food processing.

Long before foods reach our dinner tables, they are stripped of valuable nutrients. Most soils today have only a third of the topsoil components that our grandparents used in growing healthy foods.

We rely on the chemical industry to produce unnatural supplements to stimulate plants in an effort to rebuild their nutrition. Our plants may look healthy but, in reality, our foods—including the organic produce—are losing nutritional value.

Not only do we find a lack of nutrition in chemically fertilized foods, but we also find chemical residues, used during the growing cycle, that can cause health problems such as cancer, childhood immune disorders, nervous system problems and hyperactivity.

Genetically engineered food is been permitted by the federal Food and Drug Administration with limited scientific scrutiny concerning what these changes do to nutritional values.

Few follow the guidelines Another factor affecting nutritional values is food processing. Many foods are processed in ways that remove nutrients to increase shelf life, reduce fat, or simply for the taste.

The Standard American Diet (SAD) consists of 50 percent carbohydrates, 15 percent protein, and 35 percent fat.

Only 8 percent of the American diet consists of fruits and vegetables.

According to a 2010 study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Standard American Diet consists of: • 21 percent meat, eggs and nuts • 9 percent dairy products • 24 percent flour and cereal • 23 percent added fats and oils • 14 percent sweets Seventy-five percent of restaurant meals are from fast-food restaurants, 33.3 percent include carbonated beverages, and 50 percent are hamburger, fries, pizza and poultry.

The Standard American Diet has increased the incidences of obesity, heart disease and cancer. Americans may be living longer but their dependence on pharmaceutical drugs has increased.

Meanwhile, studies have identified “Blue Zones” where large numbers of people live exceptionally long lives—90 years or longer. These areas are Sardinia, Italy, Okinawa, Japan, Loma Linda, California (Seventh Day Adventists), Costa Rica and Ikaria, Greece.

The residents are primarily vegetarian, eating plant-based diets and very little meat. They share common lifestyle characteristics that contribute to their longevity.

Impact of food processing Although it is widely known that physical activity, a diet high in fruits and vegetables, and maintaining a proper weight result in healthy lives, studies show that only a small proportion of older adults follow these guidelines.

So, where are you getting your vitamins? Even your doctor may tell you that if you are eating a balanced diet perhaps you don’t need vitamins and minerals.

Examples of how supplements can help: Magnesium lowers heart attack risk; vitamin D3 reduces ear infections and enhances immune cells; vitamins B6 and B12 and folic acid help avert Alzheimer’s disease, and Vitamin K2 helps prevent bone fractures.

The decision is yours whether to supplement your diet and lifestyle with vitamins and minerals. If you do, please consult a healthcare professional.

Purchase well-known brands from a reputable store. Unknown, inexpensive brands lack quality and may not contain what it says on the label.

Cacao trees, from which come the cacao beans used to make chocolate, are grown in the tropics.

Chocolate had its origin as early as 1900 BC in the Mayan and Aztec cultures of Central Mexico and Central America. When Hernando Cortes, a Spanish conquistador, and Aztec emperor Montezuma met in 1517, Montezuma served a chocolate drink. Cortes conquered Montezuma and the Aztec empire in 1547.

Christopher Columbus carried cacao beans back to Europe in the 1500s and cacao beans reached England in the 1600s and the United States in 1755.

Six health benefits of

dark chocolate It’s good for your heart. A small amount 2 to 3 times a week can help lower your blood pressure, improve your blood flow and help prevent blood clots and arteriosclerosis.

It’s good for your brain, increasing blood flow to the brain and heart, boosting brain function and reducing stroke risk.

Dark chocolate helps control blood sugar, keeping blood vessels healthy and circulation unimpaired to protect against Type 2 diabetes.

It is loaded with antioxidants, helping cleanse your body of free radicals which may be the cause of cancer. It can also slow the signs of aging.

It contains theobromine, which is shown to harden tooth enamel.

It is high in vitamins and minerals that support your health.

As good as chocolate may sound for your health, it is wise to eat in moderation.

Active learning opportunities often include walking, stair climbing, hiking, and geocaching (where people can find “treasure” items by tracking locations through GPS devices).

Journaling, writing, videography, and photography are great ways to capture the vacation forever, but find your balance so you’re not becoming a fulltime documentalist. Chronicling activities helps with perspective, themes, languages, and culture, whether it’s a foreign country or a different lifestyle.

Long-lasting memories These opportunities make great long-lasting memories. You can even reflect those memories in your shopping, so that when you look at a special item it can trigger memories or a proud storytelling opportunity to share with others.

Overall, communicate with others throughout your vacation and track yourself emotionally, physically, and mentally. You will find your limits and hopefully find new interests and methods to incorporate into your life where you “bring something home with you.” Learning can develop and refine your perspective and even change your attitude toward life and the world around you.

by Jan Hoffbauer Rick Cramer, of Hudson, MI, wanted to invite his Volkswagen friends to his hometown. He did that by working with Tom Siligato, also from Michigan, to bring the National Volkswagen Camper meeting to Hudson.

People flew from as far away as Florida and one couple drove their VW from Atlanta, GA, to attend the weekend gathering, held June 7 and 8.

Jay Burton, who belongs to the Greater Toledo VW Club and to the Michigan club, said the Toledo group meets once a month and plans events. He has belonged to the club since 1998 and has been a board member for seven years.

Sam Hartford, of Oregon, Ohio, said he joined the Ohio VW club this year. “I have a 1974 VW Super Beetle,” he said. “Mine is still in pieces. I have always loved cars. The VWs are easy to work with.”

Nate Gerding, from Toledo, has a 2012 Turbo Beetle. He said he enjoys the conventions because he has always liked classic cars.

Paul and Phyllis Vizcarra, of Maumee, own a 1964 Bug they call

Herbie, after the “Love Bug” star.

Phyllis says, “I like the camaraderie, the fun, the easygoing group, the age difference, and that the group takes some kind of a trip once a month.”

Shell Tomlin, from Aurora, IL, has been president of the national group for more than 30 years. He also belongs to the VW Club of America.

“The group started in 1955,” he said.

I like the camaraderie, the fun, the easygoing group, the age difference.

– PHYLLIS VIZCARRA, MAUMEE, OH

Those who attended the convention said they were impressed with Hudson, a city of about 2,300 people, 50 miles

northwest of Toledo, and how welcoming the people are. Many of them camped in the park. Most of them ate their meals at Rumors Restaurant or at the park. There was entertainment and a field trip to the Buffalo Ranch, in Hanover, to feed buffalo.

Cramer said he was grateful for those who sponsored the event, including State of Mind Customs, Airhead Parts, Karman Ghia Parts & Restoration, and Rumors Restaurant.

Another club member, Maurice Goldstein, from Atlanta, has a 2013 Jetta Sports Wagon. He has been a member of the national group since 1962, and has traveled to Europe for an international VW meeting.

Jim and Barb Weiderman, of Sturgis, MI, have a 1970 VW Westfalia Camper.

Jim built a battery-powered VW minibus for Barb to ride in. He also bought a small VW that was an RC promotional vehicle, and built trailers for both pieces.

Their son, Matt, who owns Weiderman Motorsports in Sturgis, painted all three of the VWs. Barb started a business, Simply Groovy, that sells VW items, jewelry, and clothing.

Among the national convention highlights were a parade and a craft show that included VW items and assortments of jewelry, purses and artworks with VW or 1960s themes.

MOVIE REVIEWS ALL AGES CAN ENJOY ‘HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2’

BY MICHAEL SIEBENALER This impressive animated action film features several returning characters plus several key additions.

Young Viking Hiccup, voiced by Jay Baruchel, and his dragon friend Toothless lead the good fight against a new evil power that includes a seemingly overpowering dragon army. Hiccup’s Viking friends Snotlout, Tuffnut, Ruffnut, Fishlegs, and Astrid also have companion dragons. Based on Cressida Cowell’s book series, How to Train Your Dragon 2 happens five years after the first film where dragon races and exploration lead to the next adventure. These life-changing discoveries drive an action-filled plot that introduces Fret, voiced by Kit Harington; Drago Bludvist, a dragon hunter voiced by Djimon, and a very important female character named Valka, voiced by Cate Blanchett who has a stormcutter dragon named Cloudjumper.

How to Train Your Dragon 2 provides enough character/plot progression especially with Hiccup’s father, Stoick the Vast, well voiced again by Gerard Butler, while stars Craig Ferguson (Stoick’s long-time friend Gobber) and Jonah Hill (Snotlout) inject humor and memorable dialogue.

Director/co-writer Dean DeBlois amazes with the animation during the one hour and 42 minute film that audiences of all ages can enjoy.

John Powell delivers another amazing musical score, which showcases a 120-piece orchestra, 100-voice choir, and bagpipe Scottish group The Red Hot Chilli Pipers.

Recommended (***) and rated PG for adventure action and some mild rude humor. Fans can also look forward to the third installment coming in June, 2016.

Bonnie and Clyde and Easy Rider featured characters who embraced their own criminality. But the arrival of The Godfather in 1972 ushered in a decades-long love affair with criminal business enterprises.

While bad boys of the early boom wore working-class clothes, including motorcycle leather, and enjoyed grimy road trips, members of the Godfather Corleone crime family looked like middle-class, middle-America citizens. They lived in nice houses, wore business suits and were rooted in family life. Marlon Brando’s Godfather image and catchphrase (“an offer he can’t refuse”) a d o r n e d T-shirts and artwork for several decades afterwards.

By the early 1970s, the bad boy as cultural icon O –R was so familiar, it became worthy of parody.

One character built around recognizable attributes—black leather, slicked-back hair, a connection with motorcycles and auto mechanics—was Fonzie of TV’s Happy Days. The bad boy managed to keep the appearance of rebellion while pursuing conventional activities like forming family attachments and finishing high school.

By the late 1970s, the bad boy in cinema no longer needed to dress like a hoodlum to establish his credentials. Han Solo of Star Wars, for example, shared a backstory of rootlessness, criminality, indifference to community goals, and topnotch mechanical skills. Like Fonzie, he developed into a more socially acceptable male type. Later, the director even changed the timing of some

The Baby Boom era brought many social changes, beginning when hospital maternity wards were swamped with young mothers. Expectant fathers were exiled to corridors and waiting rooms, per the custom of the day. Fussing over babies, or emphasizing family involvement, was not portrayed as a manly value back then. When the babies of that boom period grew up a bit and began looking for entertainment—primarily of the TV and cinema variety—the era of the Bad Boy was born.

James Dean symbolized rebellion and adolescent disaffection from 1955 until the present day. His striking appearance—longer-than-usual hair, blue jeans, white T-shirt—was popularized in movie posters and set the stage for a decades-long afterlife as the image of rebelliousness.

Elvis Presley also rocked the bad-boy look well beyond his national debut in 1956. His image still earns millions from nostalgic fans more than fifty years after his first TV appearances.

Cinematic “badness” changed through the 1960s, when movies like

crucial gunplay to further cement the idea that the bad guy was really a good one all along. Merchandising opportunities still abound.

No real-time rehabilitation was available for Rambo (1982) and Scarface (1983), two characters who were celebrated for their physical prowess and steely resolve. The images of actors Sylvester Stallone and Al Pacino adorned millions of T-shirts and posters for years afterwards.

The Rambo phenomenon had worldwide appeal for young men, and his face was seen on clothing sold across the globe—much of it probably bootlegged. Tony “Scarface” Montana served as a business role model for criminal entrepreneurs and musicians who currently celebrate the gangster lifestyle. His catchphrase, “Say hello to my little friend!” is still popular today. When the Cuban-American main

character said, “In this country, you gotta make the money first... You get the power, then you get the women,” he was verbalizing part of the essential appeal of the bad-boy character.

In reviewing Twilight, that bad-boy vampire extravaganza of the twenty-first century, movie critic Roger Ebert asked “Why do girls always prefer the distant, aloof, handsome, dangerous dudes instead of cheerful chaps like me?”

For better or for worse, entertainment executives and their licensing minions have shown that they prefer the bad boy ... because for the past fifty years, he’s been good for the bottom line.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW? Gabe Kaplan went from ‘Kotter’ to poker stardom “Up your nose with a rubber hose!”

by Marshall Jay Kaplan Welcome Back, Kotter debuted in 1975 and became an overnight hit. Kaplan played teacher, Gabe Kotter who returned to teach at his old high school.

His class ended up being a bunch of dysfunctional students, called “The Sweathogs,” which consisted of Juan Epstein, Freddie Boom-Boom Washington, Arnold Horseshack and Vinnie Barbarino (played by break-out

Almost 40 years ago, Gabe Kaplan was known as Mr. Kotter, a sitcom teacher who was quick with a joke and bantered with his “Sweathog” students.

These days, he is simply known as the guy who knows how to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em.

Gabe Kaplan was born in Brooklyn, NY, on March 31, 1945. His original aspiration in life was to become a major league baseball player You try to do your best to get … but he ended up as a stand-up comeback on top, taking whatever is offered to dian. Go figure!

Kaplan made a you. I didn’t want that. – GABE KAPLAN name for himself in the late 1960s, and by star John Travolta). The series lasted unthe early 70s enjoyed success with his til 1979 and spawned many catchphrasstand-up routines about growing up es, such as “Did I ever tell you about in Brooklyn. He landed some big-time my Uncle…?”; “Up your nose with a television gigs—including five appearrubber hose!”; “Ooooooh! Oooooh! ances on The Tonight Show with Johnny Ooooooh! Mr Kotter!”; “What? Where?

Carson. It was this stand-up “schitck” Why?”; “I gotta letter from my mother,” that led him to his iconic TV role. and, “Hey, Mr. Koh-taire!”

After Kotter ended, Kaplan recalls, “I would have loved to have kept on being a TV star, but I was going through the normal transition a celebrity who’s in decline goes through—third or fourth billing on sitcom, game show panel, etc. You try to do your best to get back on top, taking whatever is offered to you. I didn’t want that.”

Instead, Gabe starred in the 1979 film Fast Break, and portrayed Groucho Marx in a successful oneman stage show.

Kaplan became involved in the world of poker during his last few years on Kotter. By 1980, he was considered one of poker’s elite, winning the Amarillo Slims Super Bowl of Poker. More than thirty years later, Kaplan is one of the world’s greatest poker players. His total tournament winnings in 2009 alone were just under $2 million. Kaplan can often be seen as a TV commentator or host of live poker tournaments.

In 2010, Kaplan published a book

about his comedic e-mail pranks, “Kotter’s Back–Emails from a Faded TV Celebrity,” where he shares fake and funny email replies to various people who tried to contact him and offer him celebrity roles.

Today, Kaplan lives in the Los Angeles area and looks back fondly at his Kotter days. “Whenever I hear the famous theme song, it brings back memories. You think about the show or a particular night when we were filming.

It’s definitely a part of my life,” he said.
