OPINION: Wayne Kidwell devoted many years to serving his state and nation
The Gem State lost an accomplished public figure this year with the Nov. 7 death of Wayne Kidwell at age 87. He was born in Council, Idaho, on June 15, 1938, and raised in Boise, where he supported himself during his last high school years. He spent many years faithfully serving the public in local, state and federal offices.
Kidwell graduated from Boise High School in 1956, obtained a BA degree from the University of Idaho in 1960 and a law degree from the U of I in 1964. He interrupted his studies twice — first, to serve a year in the U.S. Marine Corps and, again, to serve two years as an officer in the U.S. Army Military Police Corps, including a tour on the DMZ in Korea. He attained the rank of captain.
