Special to the PGH
Staying active is not a problem for Punta Gorda resident Clem Moorman.
Since his football days at Butler University, Moorman has kept himself busy. From tennis to track and field, flying airplanes to racing cars, the retired teacher from Indianapolis has accomplished a lot. His latest feat? Setting a state record last month at the Florida Senior Games in Lakeland. The event? Shot put. Not bad for an 85-year-old athlete.
