Max Fieg Enrolls at Iowa State

Max Fieg has enrolled as a freshman at Iowa State University in Ames, Ia., where he will study engineering.

Max, 19, son of Edward L. Fieg, Col. U.S.A.F. Ret., and Dr. Teresa Hennessey, will follow in the footsteps of a number of captains of industry who graduated from this leading institution for the education of individuals in the engineering field.

Alumni include astronauts, scientists, Nobel laureates, Pulitzer Prize winners, statesmen, academicians, CEOs, entrepreneurs, athletes, film and television actors, and a host of other notable individuals in their respective fields. Some of the more recognizable among them are scientist (and the original recycler) George Washington Carver, suffragist and League of Women Voters founder Carrie Chapman Catt, candy magnate Russell Stover (who attended for a time but did not graduate), Iowa Senator Tom Harkin and NASA astronaut Clayton Anderson.

Max's sister Nancy also graduated from Iowa State and is working for American Girl in Manhattan.

Maren Corkery Wins Voice Scholarship

Following a recent audition, Maren Corkery has won a Dox Apprentice Scholarship with the Catskill Choral Society based in Oneonta, N.Y.

Sixteen-year-old Maren will sing first alto in the fifty-member choir under the direction of Prof. R. Colin Armstrong.  Accompanied by an orchestral ensemble, the group plans a major presentation called "Carols and Lullabies: Christmas in the Southwest" on December 5 and 6. 

The society's focus has been on choral music of all periods since its founding in 1970.

Maren is the eldest daughter of Kevin and Sarah Corkery of Oneonta and granddaughter of FFN editor Greg Fieg.  Kevin is a semi-professional percussionist who plays regularly throughout the area and the Fieg family is notoriously musical, so Maren appears to have been cut from the same cloth.

Congratulations, Maren!
