More than 30 years of a successful education career and two years of retirement do not diminish Larry Hartmann's zeal to continue his educational labor. Instead of motivating elementary school children as an energetic and caring principal, he now spends his time and enthusiasm creating programs and services for seniors. His focus has changed to what he sees as a pressing community need--making seniors more independant and productive. Currently, he teaches a 55-Alive class, serves as a board member for Help of Ojai, writes a column for seniors in the Ojai Valley News, and is Ojai's representative as a California Senior Legislator, focusing on legislation that benefits seniors.
