September 7, 2025 -- Contributors to 5 More Years of our class Website - thank you so much for participation of Achuff, Ahrens, Amberg, Brand, Curlee, Deibel, Deyo, Drake, Galt, Karn, Laycob, Matthews, McCoy, Mullins, Sieloff, Singer, Sommer, and Weber. Also, thank you Russ Messing for your offer to participate but that would have resulted in an over subscription. We will catch you next time.  We will see if any of us remember the website in 2030 and decide what to do then.

This past Friday the class of 1960 was represented in the Annual Holtman Cup Golf Tournament at the Bogey Club by Dixie Deibel and Bob karn. Sandy Galt was going to participate but had to cancel because of health reasons. He was missed but he sent his son Scott and son-in-law John to fill the foursome. We were not in the money bur had a respectible showing. The great class of 1960 was recognized by Magie Holtman as once again the oldest calss present as shown in the picture below.

JULY 20, 2025 - CLASS NOTES SUBMITTED FOR FALL 2025 MICDS ISSUE

Dieter Brand ’60 retired last December as a judge of the Alberta Court of Justice and several dinners of celebration followed including his retirement dinner put on by the local bar association. The evening was completed with a rendition of flaming punch, or, “Feuerzangenbowle”, at the request of the courthouse staff. Dieter used do this in the good old days, in the courthouse historic Cypress Club until the fire marshal vetoed open flames. After a preliminary test of the smoke detectors, a local Thai restaurant, Sabai Infusion, let them enjoy the latest rendition. It all worked out…retirement can be fun.

Dixie Deibel ’60 has 2 grandchildren currently at MICDS. Sam is a freshman and is playing on the varsity baseball team and has been starting every game. Marlo is in 7^th grade and playing on the JV Lacrosse team. Dixie and Sandy joined Bob and Sue Karn for dinner in Naples last month to just catch up.

Tom Drake ’60 and his wife, Laurie have been married for 57 years and have 3 children. Their oldest son is a MD-PhD who is head of endocrine and bone metabolism at a hospital in Manhattan. Their daughter is a stay-at-home wife and mother who travels extensively with her family. Their younger son is a sought-after consultant with his own firm. They have 8 grandchildren ranging in age from 22 (graduating from college) to 1 year (leaning to walk). They are a close family, and their children telephone every day.
