    PAWTUCKET – Wayne Lima is a retired professor of business administration and management, but at the age of 57, the active baby boomer says he is busier than ever.
    A Cumberland native who has resided in Lincoln for 24 years, Lima taught at Bryant University in Smithfield from 1981 to 1995. He served as a director of the university’s graduate school for seven of those 14 years and coached the men’s and women’s bowling teams for eight years. He left the classroom to devote more energy to one of his retail businesses, The Bowler’s Edge at 110 Smithfield Ave., established in 1994, and put his time management skills into practice to take on an impressive list of other activities.

By Senior Digest staff

    CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – One of Lorraine Seymourian’s favorite pieces of clothing is a dark leopard print velvet overcoat. It is 50 years old, but that does not matter to the 76-year-old entrepreneur, who says, “People young and old stop me and compliment me about that coat.”
    The garment is timeless and so is the spirit of many older adults, who she believes are romantic, vital, talented, fashionable and fun. She also is convinced that there are few reasons for seniors to be alone this coming Valentine’s Day or on any other day for that matter.
