Our Dear President, our Dear Klaus.
You are like an oak tree for UIPM.
Africa finds in you patience, stability and wisdom.
Wish you many happy returns of the day and may you still lead us for long.
Nundkishor Fakun, African Confederation President
I would like to wish Mr President a happy birthday, wishing him all the best and thanks to him for
supporting younger generations and especially the athletes throughout their careers.
Aya Medany, Chair of the UIPM Athletes Committee
I want to send my best wishes to our President Schormann, hoping he will continue a lot more
years. I send him a big hug.
Juan Manzo, UIPM Vice President
Klaus, congratulations on this milestone; moreover, thank you for your help and mentoring over
the last 25 years – since your birthday party we organized in Atlanta 1996 at the first UIPM
hospitality house!
John Helmick, UIPM Treasurer
I have known Klaus for some time having competed in Modern Pentathlon at the same time in the
late 1960s. In all this time his passion for the sport has never ceased.
I congratulate Klaus on reaching this significant birthday.
Martin Dawe, UIPM Executive Board Member for Marketing
Klaus was and continues to be an invaluable mentor with encyclopaedic information about Modern
Pentathlon, world sport politics, art, global history and many other interests. Working with Klaus
over the years has enabled me to see at first hand his tremendous working capacity and speaking
talent which make him a true political leader who is instantly recognisable.
I would like to offer my congratulations to Klaus on his 75th birthday and mention especially Karin
and the important role she plays. Wishing you both good health and all the best for the future!
Viacheslav Malishev, UIPM Executive Board Member for Development
