Remembering Lawrence Feyereisen

I created this montage of images and video clips as a memorial to my maternal grandfather, Lawrence Jacob Feyereisen.

Storyteller: An Interview with Lawrence Feyereisen

Back in 2005, I was taking a Film Production class in grad school, and I borrowed the equipment for a trip back to Wisconsin. I sat down to interview each of my grandparents.

Interview with Sally (Kolbach) Feyereisen

Another 2005 interview. Apologies for the poor quality light and sound! In Ye Olden Days, we didn’t all have a camcorder/phone in our back pockets 🙂 I’m just grateful I did this when I could.
