Mr Felegy was my principal for Yorktown Elementary School, Race Track Rd Bowie Md in the 1960s.
He was the nicest man.
Just a great guy.
He caught me swinging on the flag pole several times and he said "Don't do that, it's dangerous."
It was a huge flagpole on a hill which made awesome swinging!
He was just a good soul. I've never forgotten him. That's why Im looking up his name today. Thanks Mr Felegy for not telling my parents about the flagpole.
Good dude!

My condolences to the family of Ed Felegy. Ed was my mentor and a big part of my career in the Prince Georges County Schools. I began as a speech therapist at Thomas Addison Elementary and under his support and guidance became an elementary school teacher there. He asked me to teach at Yorktown Elementary School in Bowie Maryland when he was appointed as principal there. He encouraged me to apply for a principalship in PGCPS. Ed was very shy and I was priveleged to become his friend. He was a man of great knowledge and wisdom. Rest in peace Ed.

I remember Mr. Felegy as my kind principal at Yorktown Elementary School where 6 "Caro" children went through in the 60's. It just can't be that long. It is true that Mr. Felegy made the school song come true: "Our Yorktown School will live forever in our hearts and minds, as we go forth we'll long remember . . ." Thank you Mr. Felegy for your kindess. God bless you and rest in peace.

Mr. Felegy was my principal at Yorktown Elementary School. I have very fond memories of my time there and helping out there in the summer. We stayed in touch for a couple of years afterward. I will remember him as a good man, a gifted school administrator and a man who left a positive mark on this world in the lives he touched.

It was an honor to work with Mr. Felegy in Prince George's County Public Schools. His intelligence, insight, and integrity were an inspiration. He made a significant difference in the lives of students and educators in Prince George's.
His support of the music program through the Kennedy Center Concert named in his honor, and his support for the Reading Program in Prince George's schools are among the numerous contributions for which he will be remembered.
