I lived in Iowa for 35 years and adopted the Iowa Hawks in my first year.    I married about a decade later, then came the girls.  One is a graduate of University of Northern Iowa, the other a graduate of the Iowa State University.    Cleary I've had very little influence on my daughters choices! - which is fine with me, it's their challenge, not mine.   lol   

My youngest daughter and her mom have always been drawn to wilderness (they hiked a section of the John Muir this year), so her long term interest in Forestry is a natural fit.
