McGonigal Cousins Head South

Jon McGonigal, eldest son of Emilie Fieg McGonigal and first grandchild of Lothar Fieg Sr., will pull up his New York roots and, with wife Marilyn, move to the Blue Ridge Mountain city of Staunton, VA.

Marilyn writes that she and Jon will soon visit Staunton (pronounced "Stanton"), home of the Statler Brothers of country music fame, to look around, check out apartments and visit with her son.  They plan to be all moved in by August 1 of this year.

Staunton, first settled in 1732, is nestled in the Shenandoah Valley and I will bet that Jon and Marilyn will have many visitors there.

For the rest of you, please send empty boxes!

By the way, if you have forgotten what Jon looks like....
