  I could be wrong, but I think that is Morris Ostroff (69) standing 2nd from the left.  He actually was my Home Ec cooking partner (yep, definitely the cutest and I think the only guy in the class!) our senior year!  I don't know where he was from, and I can't get the yearbook to open to compare pictures.  Maybe someone else can verify... Diane (Moore) Harlow  

1965 Frankfurt AYA baseball team                                                                                                                            from Darl Sams 67
"...team picture of the AYA team for Frankfurt in 1965.  The picture was taken at the Drake/Edwards baseball field.  The high school never had baseball as a scholastic sport (at least during this time frame).  The team did play many of the high school towns in Germany - K-town, Heidelberg, Wiesbaden, Stuttgard.  We ended the season with a double header against an American high school team from France.  We took the title of European Champs that year.  The roster was:
 

Row 1:  Coach Sams, Tom Tegge 67, Lyle Mathews 65, Jim Conway 66, Jim Gibson 67, Ben Cobian, Bill Price 65, Bob Farmer 66, Darl Sams 67, Gary Sams 65, Mike McGuire 67

 

Row 2:  Mike Wheeler 67, Larry Stieber 65, Bill Long 65, Anibal Gutierrez 67, Bill Wojahn 65, Dave Henderson 67, John Heckman, Phil Bepko 67, Claus Demoore 67, Bob Bepko 66, Larry Phelps 67, Joe Caldwell 67"

Bruce,
     I played with these guys. Our games were at the baseball field in Platten. The Frankfurt American was a weekly news magazine (like Parade) that came out every Saturday.

Phil Bepko lives in San Antonio, last I checked, but I don't have his email address.  I wrote to Stuart Knowlton to see if he remembers the paper/article and asked him to pass it on to Phil (who has a popular band there in SA).
