Notes

Irving Brenholdt was among the group that developed the atomic bomb inWW2. Clarissa Brenholt told me she remembers going to JensBrenholdt's (Irving's Father) funeral and that Irving came in agovernment limo, attended the funeral and left again as soon as thefuneral was over.

Carol Brenholt Medchill told me that the federal government came toall the Brenholt homes in Cushing and to Luck High School during WW2and removed all pictures of Irving to be sure that no photos of himwere available to the enemy.

Irving was included in the 2000 outstanding scientists of the 20thcentury by the International Biographical Center at Cambridge,England.
