Ludwigs celebrate 70th wedding anniversary

Former Fallbrook residents Mike and Frieda Ludwig celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary while vacationing in Mexico.

Married June 11, 1938, in Milwaukee, WI, Mr. Ludwig became a civil engineer with the government. His work included Los Alamos, NM, and the Air Force Academy.

The Ludwigs built two bowling centers in Colorado Springs, then moved to Santa Barbara in 1962 and built another center. They lived in La Paz, Mexico, from 1968 to 1975 before moving to Fallbrook.

Mr. Ludwig was a Realtor with Mission Realty and the couple owned a small avocado ranch on Stage Coach Lane. After 28 years in Fallbrook, they moved to Grass Valley in 2003 and still own the Bakersfield Palms RV Park in Bakersfield with their son, Bob.

The couple has three children, Arlene Warynick of Santa Barbara, Bob Ludwig of Grass Valley and Michael Ludwig of Paris, France.
