He met the love of his life, Marie Grote, on the Catalina Island ferry, and they married June Pink 29, 1938. In 1945, they moved with their first three girls, Janet, Jeannie CLOSING and Joy, to Carmel, where Ted was a teacher and coach at Carmel High School, winning Carmel’s first basketball championship that year. Two Wasabi more girls, Julie and JoAnn followed, and Ted built their home at the cor- SALE ner of Torres and Second in 1952. After leaving Carmel High, Ted worked as an escrow officer, then Ocean Ave. at Pine Inn became a loan officer and eventually Vice President and Main Branch Carmel-by-the-Sea Manager at Monterey Savings. After retiring in 1977, he became a mem- (831) 622-0337 25 TO 75% ber of its Board of Directors. He then co-founded Cypress Mortgage. He maintained a lifelong interest in sports, and from 1945 to 1965 worked as a PAC-8 football official, refereeing hundreds of games, including Rose OFF Bowls, East-West Shrine games and the Sun Bowl. Ted gave energy and time to his community in many ways. He served Entire Store as a member of the Carmel School Board, Sunset Commission, Carmel Cultural & Planning Commission, was Foreman of the Monterey County through month of June Grand Jury, and was active in the Monterey Peninsula Chamber of Commerce and the Carmel Business Association. He enjoyed more than 60 years of perfect attendance with Carmel Host Lions Club, attending his last meeting the week before he died. He and Marie were founding members of Community Church of the Monterey Peninsula and the 20/40 Club. He was an honored Pillar of the Carmel Foundation. A strong and incredibly generous family man, Ted leaves a legacy of love and memorable times. He created the Fehring-Wawona Fund, ensuring an annual gathering in Yosemite National Park, where his expanding family enjoyed many reunions, golfing, swimming and sharing “choosies.” He was a sentimental and funny guy. Ted often got emotional about his love for family and friends, and he especially enjoyed setting up elaborate games or contests that all could play. He and Marie loved to travel too. They explored six continents and the seven seas, by cruise ship, car and tour bus. He is survived by his five daughters and their husbands: Janet and Peter Schober, Jeannie and Merrill Hall, Joy and Gordon Roberts, Julie and Jeff Almquist and JoAnn and Mark Holbrook; 13 grandchildren and their spouses; 11 great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. He also leaves his Alliance on Aging home-shared friend, Sara Shappee, whose cooking and companionship helped make these last four years wonderful for him. He was preceded in death by his parents, Lynn and Ivy Fehring; his brothers, Raymond and Paul “Dutch” Fehring, and their wives, Rose and Edna; his sister-in-law, Eachren Fuller; and his beautiful wife of 64 years, Marie. A celebration of Ted’s life will be held November 29. The family would like to honor Ted’s wish to continue his work in the community by sending donations to: the Community Foundation for Monterey County, payable to the Fehring/Carmel Host Lion’s Account #2, 2354 Garden Rd., Monterey, CA 93940 or to the Community Church of the Monterey Peninsula, payable to the Challenger Scholarship Fund, P.O.

We just don’t get it

A LOT of inscrutable decisions come from government agencies. But the planning commission’s ruling last week that the Carmel Red Cross building

would be degraded by the replacement of its cheap, mobile-home-type alu-

minum windows with vinyl clads really left us scratching our heads.

According to the city’s planning staff and several commissioners, the archi-

tecture of the Red Cross building requires aluminum windows. But when we

stood across the street and looked at the building, our only thought was, “Huh?”

The building is not distinctive at all, and has no particular architectural signifi-

cance that we could see. If its decrepit aluminum windows were replaced with

the energy-efficient, attractive and economical ones preferred by Red Cross

executive director Sharon Crino, generations of Carmelites could walk by the

building without ever noticing the difference. In fact, they would surely regard

the new windows as an improvement.

Even if the planning commission is correct, what they are defending has neg-

ligible value to the public. And in cases such as this — minimal or no public ben-

efit weighed against a significant gain for a property owner — we think the

owner of the building should be given the benefit of the doubt. “Of course I know your favorite colors...diamond, sapphire, ruby, pearl...” In other words, instead of being told, “You can’t have vinyl clad windows
