McHenrys Awaiting Stork in Bakersfield

Megan and Justin McHenry of Bakersfield, Calif., are awaiting a bundle of joy next spring.

It will be the first child for the couple, though Megan has a child from a previous marriage.

Justin, son of noted children's author Janet McHenry and grandson of Doris Fieg Holm and great-grandson of Max Fieg, was recently promoted to general manager of production and packing for Bolthouse Farms , a 90-year-old internationally recognized Southern California produce processor which, among other things, is the nation's largest domestic wholesale marketer of fresh carrots.

Megan, a former interior designer, has set aside her career for the time being to devote herself to Justin and the new baby.

Justin's career has been virtually meteoric since his granduation from California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obisbo, where he majored in agriculture management. He is only 29.

His kid brother Robert Joshua McHenry, known among his peers as Robert but among family members as Josh, also recently graduated from Cal Poly with a degree in agriculture management as a member of the Reserve Officers Training Corps for the U.S. Army.
