Meet Fred Feiretag
Fred Feiretag was dismayed when he arose one morning last week and discovered a flock of pink plastic Flamingos in his yard. He had been FLAMINGOED by members of the Grace Lutheran Church summer mission team.
It was all for a good cause by a gang of young members of his church who planted the long out of style yard ornament as a fundraiser. All he has to do is put a 50 bucks donation to the building fund and like magic the lovely birds will fly away overnight.
Fred and his wife Anne are the new owners of the historic small former grocery
Meet Dick Dahlgard, Joe Deng and Maggie Larrick
Dick owned Burien's camera shop for 37 years till he retired and is now devoting his life to civic improvement and development of the Highline Historical Museum where he is an aide to Cyndi Upthegrove.
Joe Deng is the youngster from Sudan who walked across the desert and later joined St. Elizabeth's Episcopal Church in Burien. His grueling story is recounted in a book written by Jean Pfeifer, now deceased. Copies of the amazing trek can be obtained at the church.
With them at the recent funeral for the revered author was Maggie Larrick, former editor of the Highline Times, now public relations director of the Burien Little Theatre.
