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.

Shopping for school -- so much fun!

My best wishes and prayers go for Max Fieg, my father's namesake. He (my Pop) was a very smart man, of course, and even though limited to only the eighth grade education, worked as a carpenter's apprentice and eventually built mansions and beautiful furniture, and supported a large family who loved him dearly.
Bless you , Max, and please keep us informed how it is going with your dreams. Love, Doris Fieg Holm
