The 60th wedding anniversary celebration for Mr. and Mrs. George Caliebe, Greenwood, was held over the October 10-11 weekend. A dinner for relatives and friends was held on Saturday evening at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Greenwood, followed by a reception at the Caliebe home. The Rev. Sam Kochel offered prayers.
