College Basketball Thrilla

Binghamton University, of which Judy Kestner is an alumna, will play Duke in the NCAA basketball finals on March 19 in Greensboro, NC. Eddie Fieg Sr. has wagered two Omaha steaks that Duke will whup up on B.U. Judy Kestner has accepted that bet, with grave misgivings.

The game will be broadcast on CBS at about 9 p.m. on March 19 -- take a look and see who ends up with Worcestershire on his face.....

Grandpa Redux

Another link from Diana to a story in the Oneonta Daily Star about Grandpa Fieg's history. Go on a scavenger hunt around Oneonta and find the structures referenced in the story!

Thanks Diana -- don't you do any work at home? Haha.

Patently True!

Thanks to Diana who discovered this link. It looks as if Grandpa Fieg was an inventor of concrete railroad ties. Though I've never seen one, the description makes me think he invented rebar! Who knew?
