George Washington Carver

YES!!!

 

[Turn2]

So, Professor Carver’s two dinner guests....Edward “Skippy” Williamson and Frederick “Jif” Armstrong – two white men – stole George Washington Carver’s recipe for peanut butter, copyrighted it, and reaped untold fortunes from it.

While Dr. Carver died penniless and insane, still trying to play a phonograph record with a peanut.

I was so close though.

Guy named Ollie on big brother one time. Pretty sure that was his last name but they called him that like it was his first name. Played football for Iowa State. That's all I got.

 

[LincolnSwinger]

Carrie Chapman Catt who helped women get the right to vote.

So it's HER fault!
I kid, I kid...…..

Brian Ollie was a CB on the football team (during my time) from West Des Moines Dowling.


It's kind of sad we have no one famous.

 

[Cycsk]

John Garang, leader of the Sudanese Liberation Army and founder of South Sudan.

From his wikipedia page:

"The civil war ended with the Addis Ababa Agreement of 1972 and Garang, like many rebels, was absorbed into the Sudanese military. For eleven years, he was a career soldier and rose from the rank of captain to colonel after taking the Infantry Officers Advanced Course at Fort Benning, Georgia, United States. During this period he took four years academic leave and received a Master's degree in agricultural economics from Iowa State University (ISU).[citation needed]In 1981, he earned a PhD in Economics from Iowa State University (ISU)."

He gave some guest lectures on campus in the early 2000's that essentially laid out the plans for the creation of South Sudan, a nation independent of Sudan.

My wife started at ISU and also graduated from Grandview around the same time. Think it would be weird if I ask her if she knew her?

Don't ask the awkward question, and we'll just assume you're married to India Summer.
