He was enthusiastic about his home city, Waterford and all things Waterfordian, a member of the Harbour Board, the Chamber of Commerce (President from 1966-1968), the Festival Committee and many other voluntary groups promoting the city. Thomas Fewer was a keen photographer and took up a cine-camera in 1955. As well as recording the family history on film for almost the next 25 years, he also covered many important Irish and Waterford events. |
