Kimiko Fieg Wins Award
Kimiko Fieg, former wife of Greg Fieg, recently won an award from the Texas Associated Press Managing Editors.
The first place award in Team Page Design, Class AAA, was garnered by Kimiko and four teammates at the Victoria Advocate, the Victoria, TX newspaper where Kimiko is currently employed as Presentation Editor.
Kimiko told me when she first began working at the Advocate that she was surprised at how few awards the paper had won over the years in comparison to the Corpus Christi Caller-Times where she had previously been employed. It looks as if she will put an end to that trend!
Kimiko's husband of two years is retired newspaperman Brooks Peterson, also formerly of the Caller-Times. They live in Victoria in a lovely Victorian-style house that Kimiko swears she will refurbish one of these days.... Stay tuned for that story!

Cousins Convene in Jacksonville
Will Bookhout and Greg Fieg visited Jack and Mary Wolcott for a dinner engagement in the Woolcotts’ hometown of Jacksonville, FL on April 7.
Jack, chief financial officer for Blood Alliance – a non-profit organization that collects, processes and distributes blood in the community – is counting down the days toward his pending retirement, and Mary is now a domestic goddess.
Jack took Will for a spin in his 19’ Bowrider, which he and Mary regularly take up the St. John’s River for the amusement of their four grandchildren. The open boat is ideal for fishing and swimming and features a 200 h.p. inboard motor.
Will also visited with his son Daniel and daughter-in-law Jenny in St. Augustine, where Daniel is full-time youth pastor at the Good News Presbyterian Church. He continues to maintain the Bookhout law practice in Oneonta while residing in Cazenovia after having recently sold his former home in Laurens. His associate, Hollie Jaffe, recently returned to the firm after an extended personal leave.
Will, who is the son of the late Judge Richard J. Bookhout, Otsego Co. surrogate judge, has maintained the practice for more than three decades. He is a graduate of St. John’s University Law School in N.Y.C.

Fiegs and a Kestner Do The Town
On March 15, Diana Fieg Monaco picked up her niece, Emilie Kestner, in Secaucus, NJ where Emilie and her fellow high school choir-mates had been staying during their biannual trip to the Big Apple, and the two of them met Lisa Fieg in Manhattan for lunch.
Diana and Emilie then spent the rest of the day sight-seeing and being entertained by various drunks and loose screws on New York City's transit system. Though that sounds exciting the real highlight of the day was a visit to the Manhattan School of Music for a vocal master class conducted by an Italian maestro. They also enjoyed the library, Harlem and the fur department at Saks.
That evening the two visited with Diana's friend, a high school guidance counselor, who helped them create a nice timeline to follow toward college admission. (The advice is always more relevant coming from not your parents....)
On the next day, St. Patrick's Day, they watched some of the parade in the city, and then enjoyed a meal of corned beef sandwiches at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, on the invitation of one of Diana's really important clients who just happens to be -- you guessed it -- of Irish descent.
Courtesy of Diana's hair dresser, Emilie now sports a short curly bob which is very becoming to her.
During their four-and-a-half day stay in New York, the choir saw two Broadway shows plus "La Boheme" at the Met and attended a voice master class of their own conducted by members of the cast of "Rent." They ransacked Chinatown and South Street Seaport and slogged through the rain to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum.
Emilie flew home on March 18 and we stopped to take pictures among the bluebonnets on the way home.
