Great Regulars: This summer I met up with four aging boys

from my hometown of Marion. They were on a pilgrimage of sorts to visit their old coach. Wally Dietze was born in Boyne City, and is now retired there. From 1948 to 1961, when he left for Bay City, Wally Dietze was sports in Marion.

During the afternoon one thing was clear. These guys love their old coach. He guided them to shining moments in their lives. Sports and art can do this.
