My brother John Paul Fieg passed away on May 2, 2015 in Honolulu, Hawaii at age 73.
John graduated from Notre Dame University, and then earned a Masters in Journalism from Northwestern University.
He was among the first to answer President Kennedy's call and join the Peace Corps in 1966, living for two years in rural northeast Thailand. After returning to the US he attended The George Washington University in Washington DC where he earned a law (Juris Doctor) degree.
Keeping with the Peace Corps tradition, John led an unconventional life, always in the service of others. Upon receiving the law degree, he practiced law on the Zuni Indian Reservation in New Mexico for two years. Then for a time he returned to Thailand, eventually settling in Hawaii where he tutored students in English as a second language for 30 years.
While in Hawaii John took voice lessons for 15 years at the University of Hawaii, and I know the music and the self-expression were very important to him. I can picture him belting out the lyrics... please take a few moments to watch my tribute.
From John Fieg's Peace Corps diary:
“No matter how distressing things may seem here, I must remember that it is possible to rise above this, to go my own way, in companionship with better men of different times and places.”

John was one of my best friends at St Francis. Really sad to know he is no longer with us.

I join others in our former Peace Corps Thailand group in sharing the sadness and trusting that John's intellect continues to provide support in the eternity God reveals at life's end. We all cherished John and as a journalist and writer I am amazed at his commitment to interpersonal communication and cultural interaction. His writings were to the point and often cited by others. Do you have any information on his obit, if there was one, and if you deem appropriate a current address for surviving family member to which we might write? Thank you so much. As to your posting, I did not see a name so apologize for not addressing this note properly.
