Allen Still and Michael Still are newly qualified Certified Public Accountants, both having recently completed their regulatory qualifying exams.
Tthat means that they have reached a coveted, stratospheric threshhold in their professions, having a status vaguely equivalent to those who hold medical degrees, Ph.Ds or say, a juris doctorate. In other words, they're not just working the counter at the H&R Block; they have the world by the tail, and yes, Uncle Bill Adams, they're considerably beyond being just a couple of guys.
The two Purdue graduates -- both of whom have hung out shingles in Indianapolis -- are the sons of Kevin and Anne Still of Danville, IN, Anne being the daughter of Maxine (Fieg) and Dr. Robert Whiteside of Sioux City, IA.
Allen, 26, is employed by Cliffton Gunderson, and Michael, 24, toils for Ernst & Young.

Lt. Col. Edward Fieg Recommended for Bronze Star
US Air Force Lt. Col. Edward Lothar Fieg of Oneonta, NY -- currently attached to the Afghan Army in Afghanistan -- has been nominated to receive the Bronze Star. Other than the Gold Star, which is awarded posthumously, the Bronze Star is the armed forces highest performance decoration for valor in the field after the Silver Star and Medal of Honor.
He also has been recommended for promotion to full colonel.
Dr. Fieg's citation notes that while stationed at Kandahar Regional Military Hospital he led his team of 15 Air Force medical professionals in support of more than 50,000 Afghan National Army troops and Afghan National Police in some of the bloodiest fighting ever recorded in the Middle East.
Over the past 10 months his team treated mass casuality events in which hundreds of people were severely injured by suicide bombers.
He also supervised routine care for more than 15,000 inpatients and outpatients including 579 major surgical operations, including those among 56 helicopter missions taking ememy fire or sustaining injury as a result of other mishaps.
Fieg is expected to return home to the Dayton, Ohio area from his more than 13-month tour in February.
It is his second Middle Eastern assignment, having previously served in Iraq. He also formerly served two tours in South Korea. He has served in the armed forces for more than two decades.

Midwest Fieg Reunion Put Off Another Year
The Annual Fieg Reunion will be held once again at Otsego Lake, as key midwestern family members have expressed a desire to return to Cooperstown at least one more time rather than hold it at Lake of the Ozarks, Storm Lake, Lake Okmulgee or some other spot in the central United States.
Eventually, a Midwest venue will be chosen, and one day even a Far West spot, but for now it will be Cooperstown once again, at the Midwesterners request.
John and Anne Roman are already looking for an Otsego Lake location, as the spot chosen last year may not be big enough to accommodate the larger turnout anticipated next year.

Fiftieth Anniversary of Lothar Fieg Sr.'s Death
August 26 of this year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the death of Lothar Fieg Sr. in Oneonta, N.Y. Lothar and his wife, the former Florence Shields, were the parents of seven children: Emilie, Florence, Maxine, Lothar Jr., Franklin, Victor Philip and Dorothy.
Lothar was born in Pforzheim, Germany in 1886, and emigrated to America with his family when he was a teenager. He established a successful home-building enterprise in Oneonta in 1920, two years after arriving in Oneonta. His company was also instrumental in the creation of the Farmer's Museum in Cooperstown, dismantling three historic buildings in the area and reassembling them on the site of the museum.
Not only was Lothar a builder, he also was a very civic-minded citizen, serving on Oneonta's Public Service Board, eventually becoming its chairman.
Upon his death, Oneonta's mayor ordered flags to be flown at half-staff at City Hall..
