Bedwell started taking classes at NIC four years ago with help through the Center for New Directions, which helps non-traditional college students enroll in college services. She had dropped out of high school when she was married at 16, but later earned a GED in 1979. But it wasn’t until the 1990s that she began to feel a true calling to complete her education, she said. After remarrying, she and her husband Clifford Bedwell opened their own logging company. Bedwell Logging was thriving until Clifford was in a logging accident in 1994 that rendered him disabled and forced the couple to shut down the company/Stacy Hudson, NIC Press Room. More here.

Most of my U of I friends would point out that my BSU education is really a junior college education. Until they need some work on their diesel engine or some welding done. ; )

My two years at North Idaho College (1972-74) turned my life around and pointed me in the direction I am still following. Every day I go before a class of students, I try to give to them what the generous and passionate instructors at NIC gave to me.
