Leo Hoegh
Leo Arthur Hoegh (pronounced ''hoyg'';〔Obituary, (Leo Hoegh, 92, Civil Defense Chief for Eisenhower ), New York Times, 2000-07-24, accessed 2008-06-15.〕 March 30, 1908 – July 15, 2000) was a decorated U.S. Army officer, lawyer, and politician served as the 33rd Governor of Iowa from 1955 to 1957.
His record of public service included important contributions to his home state and to his country.〔(Distinguished Alumni Award ), University of Iowa Alumni Association, 1989, accessed 2008-06-15.〕 His career in elective office came to an early end, after his willingness to raise taxes to jump-start improvements to Iowa's roads and schools alienated his conservative Republican allies, and handed Democratic gubernatorial nominee Herschel C. Loveless an issue to exploit.〔"(Against the Anthills ),"Time Magazine, 1956-10-22.〕
==Personal background==
Hoegh's grandfather, Nels Peder Hoegh, left a farm in Denmark in 1866 to search for gold in Colorado.〔 He invested much of his newfound fortune in farmland in Audubon County, Iowa, became a community leader, and upon his death left separate farms for each of his thirteen children.〔
When Leo was born to Nels' son William in 1908, the household spoke Danish, and it was not until Leo attended school that he began to speak English.〔 While his father ran a bank in nearby Elk Horn, Iowa, Leo decided to become a lawyer. He received a bachelor of arts degree from the University of Iowa in 1929,〔Biographical Note, (Papers of Leo A. Hoegh - Special Collections - University of Iowa Libraries ).〕 where he distinguished himself as a captain of the water polo team and as the founding president of Gamma Nu Chapter of Pi Kappa Alpha.〔 He lettered in swimming and was selected for membership in A.F.I., forerunner to the national honor society, Omicron Delta Kappa.〔 As Leo graduated from the University of Iowa College of Law in 1932, his father sold all of his assets in an unsuccessful effort to prevent the Elk Horn bank from failing.〔 Leo started private practice in Chariton, the county seat of Lucas County in southwestern Iowa.
