Here are the names of the students who participated in the IES Wien 1960-61 sessions, based on our best effort to reconstruct the entire list. There were two groups: Full Year and Spring Semester only. IES Vienna did not retain all records from 1960-61, resulting in the IES alumni records at IES headquarters in Chicago being incomplete. So, we compiled this list from various lists furnished to participants in 1961 plus information in the IES computer at headquarters in Chicago in 2010.
We are confident this compiled list is as accurate as we can make it, but it may still contain a few inaccuracies, for which we apologize. If you find inaccuracies, please click here to let us know.
We thank especially Jennifer Jerzyk, IES Alumni Relations Officer at IES Chicago headquarters, for her assistance. Together we were able to identify participants who completed the course but were missing from the IES alumni records and participants who dropped out.
Now we need to know where all of us are today. Please click here to send current contact information (email address, street address, telephone number, etc.).

IES Wien 
I am very excited to hear of a reunion for the 1960-61 Vienna year. Of course stashed boxes of memorabilia will produce Wienerish stuff to share if I can remember where they are. And, an actual get-together of classmates who we won’t recognize — well, how can you beat that? I’m in!
Christmas mail usually involves hearing from folks one hasn’t seen for a year or two but your missive on a ’61 Class Reunion really takes the cake.
With many of us crossing the decade mark reserved only for fossils and candidates for nursing homes, I was shocked one would care about any of us, let alone be able to resurrect information for a mailing list.
Having given my preamble, I was delighted to know of such an event because this 7 month sojourn was one of the most impactful events of my life and I know the same can be said for many of my friends. We were among those who spent the second semester in Wien and I recall the bitter winter weather which greeted us in NY for the welcome gathering. My friend Frank Ziegler( missing from the alphabetical list you’ll note) were roomies in college and remained so in Wien but we often remark about the daily trek to the dining hall in Wien where we passed the open fish market and the local “ladies of the evening” hawking their wares right next door. Yes, each of us has many stories but overall, I was so impressed with the entire trip that my wife and I encouraged our own 2 daughters to study abroad in college and they grew immeasurably because of their experience, as did we.
Well, there is much wood to chop between now and October.
I would be interested in the folks in the Spring ’61 program. Just being updated on them and what their lives entailed.
Where now : My wife, Marianne, and I live in San Diego where we were both born and raised.We live in happy retirement in an old S.D. neighborhood. We ended our careers with the County of San Diego and travel extensively in the U.S. and abroad. We have a small trailer and travel and camp in it as well. Our two grandkids live in Durham, NC, and we visit twice a year. Our health is good and we exercise, do yoga, read a lot and do volunteer work in our community.
Didn’t hear about the reunion until my brother Anthony Broglio called me. My husband and I have returned to Vienna several times over the years and probably will come to the reunion.
I think of Vienna very often. In June of
2010, I spent 10 days in Vienna and nearby, retracking all the steps there of 50 years ago. I stayed in a reasonable pension “Suzanne” and could hear the opera every night from my window. I have all the itineraries of all the field trips sponsoned by IES as well as the Christmas time in the Holy Lands with a different tour, and the entire summer traveling with my Dad in Algeria, Tunisia, and a 2nd time to Italy, then, Scandinavia and British Isles and home on the Holland Am. line ship with Ies students. I have continued to travel since. Just back from Florida, and made the trip to Chicago this past Oct. for the All Vienna Reunion of IES. And found my Vienna roommate of ’60-’61, Margaret (Nancy) Robling, a wonderful reunion with Nancy. I am now off to Chautauqua Institution, NY for the summer, to a 6th generation cottage of my family with grandchildren. I would love to hear from classmates at calleemay@aol.com
All the best to you and to October 2011. I would love to return every year to Vienna.

p.s. My Bucket List includes back to British Isle to do the famous author and poets, and a trip to South America. I did Asia in 1989 with Australia.
I did NOT leave the program. I attended all year and it
was a magnificent time. Nancy Bristol Bruschke
