CATCHING UP!

Happy belated birthday to Jean Davie Fieg - 94 years old on February 9! If you get the chance, send her a message via Phyllis at phyllisfieg@gmail.com. Jean was born in Greensboro, NC on Silver Ave. where her dad was manager of the A&P grocery store. Phyllis retired from the U.S. Postal Service and is now bookkeeper/landscaper/bathroom scrubber at 1405 Knightwood Drive.

Nancy Fieg Lynch, daughter of Ed Fieg and Karen White, and husband Dan had a baby boy named Sawyer, and what a cute kid! He has all the trappings of being an ingenious child  - bright, joyous, engaging and perceptive says his great-uncle Greg Fieg. 

He keeps on truckin' running a thriving business.  Cade Dangca's company recently was involved with the reconstruction of the Throgs Neck Bridge over the East River. Cade and Megan's son is named Weston but Cade calls him "my little excavator."

Editor Judy Kestner recently attended the winter meeting of the Texas Ornithological Society in Abilene, Tex. It was a wonderful event with speakers, birding field trips and fun with friends. No life birds, but Judy got a life mammal: a beaver! The organization's spring meeting was also held in Abilene. It was quite a bit warmer....

Judy's husband, Joe, is recovering from a stroke suffered in October 2021. He has stopped falling out of bed (haha) and we have seen other improvements. 

Eva Dangca gave up her career as a barista, chickened out, and is now working at Buffalo Wild Wings in Oneonta.

 

Two Babies Born to the Next Generation

On Feb. 27 a 9-pound 3-ounce baby boy was born to Megan Brewer and Cade Dangca. Weston Allan Dangca, 21 inches long, was born at Cobleskill General Hospital in Cobleskill, N.Y.

This is the second infant born to this next generation.

Melody Celine Buff was born Nov. 2, 2021 to Maren (Corkery) and Thomas Buff, also at Cobleskill.The Buffs and the Dangcas all live in Schoharie, N.Y. where Maren and Megan are fast friends.

Melody, at three months, is able to hold up her head without assistance, reaches and grabs things, mimics singing, and babbles and coos of her own accord.  Her favorite song is "Annie's Song" by John Denver. 

On the Fieg family tree, Melody's grandparents are Sarah and Kevin Corkery of W. Oneonta, and Weston's grandparents are Anna and Allan Dangca of Laurens, N.Y.  The babies' great-grandmother is Jacqueline Powell McAdams and their great-grandfather is Greg Fieg of Oneonta, N.Y. who are proud as punch.
