I was born on the third of July 1933 in Nampa, Idaho. My parents are Joseph and Sylvia Gladys Neilsen Tidwell. I attended schools in and around Nampa. I attended college and earned a degree in Agronomy. While attending BYU in Provo, Utah I met my eternal companion Myrna March. We were married in the Salt Lake Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on the 4th of Jan. 1956. I began farming with my father but due to illness I had to find an occupation less physically demanding. I taught high school in Marsing for two years, then taught at Vallivue High School for 28 years and found great pleasure in doing so. We served a mission in Salt Lake City. I was preceded in death by my parents, stillborn twin girls, and a grandson. I am survived by: my wife Myrna Tidwell, Neils Tidwell (Gina) of Nampa, ID, Wendy C.

I was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints my whole life and have served in many positions of responsibility. I was registered with the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) for 4 years as a boy and over 50 years as an adult.
