At 101, Hal Silberman likes to keep a busy schedule.
Every morning, he leads an exercise class in the movement room for the residents of The Palace, a senior living facility where he lives in Coral Gables.
Silberman credits daily exercise to his longevity, he said in an interview with the Miami Herald a day before his May 1 birthday. Silberman is one of South Florida’s oldest living World War II veterans, having served as a communications and decoding officer aboard the battleship USS Arkansas in the Pacific.
After the exercise class, which is preceded by breakfast, Silberman goes straight into a game of chess, followed by table tennis and a daily dose of dancing from 4-5 p.m. before dinner. His table-tennis skills earned him the nickname “Killer.”
“Get involved in hobbies that you can remain involved in all your life,” Silberman advises.
But he doesn’t stop there. #miami #dade #veteran #halsiberman #WWII #coralgables #100
