Fieg Cousins Gather Together

 John and Anne Roman recently had some fun days in St. Augustine, Fla. enjoying friends from the north, as well as the Christmas lights.

Their drive home to the Bradenton, Fla. area on December 26 took them past The Villages. It was the perfect opportunity to stop in for lunch with Sue and Ed Williams.

After a great meal at an Italian steak house they gathered at the Williams home for dessert and more reminiscing.  The group watched some of the videos that Sue's brother, Doug Fieg, had been copying to CDs, and editing from 8mm movies by their dad, Lothar "Bud" Fieg and his brother, Philip Fieg, dating back to the 1950s.

A great visit was had by all!

Christmas Greetings from Doug Fieg

 We have received this email from Doug Fieg, son of Lothar "Bud" and Catherine Fieg and grandson of Lothar and Florence Fieg. Please send him any details you might have to complete the unknowns!

I just barely completed my "Christmas Card" to extended family:  An enhanced and edited video of all the Fieg family reunions (and one Shields reunion), dating back to 1950.

I remember Dad was always taking movies for just about everything, through the 1960s.  I'm guessing he wanted those movies to live on, so here is my part to that end.

After realizing that I couldn't do everything I wanted to do by Christmas, I came to the realization that it is a good thing!  If you could post this to the Fieg Family Newsletter website, that would be great.  Then, if others can chime in with facts (or remembrances) that can help me fill in the "To Do's," detailed in the video, that might be helpful and fun!  Now everyone can get in on the act!

I was thinking that if anyone had any information or help to give, they could email me, and that's fine.  But it might be more fun to post to the newsletter website, causing who-knows-what kind of collaboration and banter among cousins and more distant relatives!  What do you think?

We don't really have that many people posting to the newsletter website.  But if more did, it might be fun!

Anyway, my email address is dougfieg@gmail.com.

Thanks,

Doug
