Retirement just isn't in their vocabulary
The youngest go-getter here is 87
By: Geoff Kirbyson
Albert Cohen (WAYNE.GLOWACKI@FREEPRESS.MB.CA)
When asked about his fitness regime that enables him to not only come into the office every day at the age of 96, but run a company, Albert Cohen was only too happy to step out from behind his desk and demonstrate.
"Sometimes I do a dozen, sometimes less and sometimes more," he said, as he put his hands above his head and bent down to touch his toes a few times. "It's something I've done all my life in the morning and in the evening."
But that's not all. The co-CEO of Gendis Inc. usually golfs about twice a week -- he pulls his own cart, thank you, and occasionally breaks his age -- and likes to skate laps in his leather speedskates at the Susan Auch Oval on Sargent Avenue if it's not too cold outside.
At work, where he shares the top job with his son, James, Cohen is old school -- he doesn't carry a cell phone and his office is noticeably free of any computers.
