Bio

Ed Kiddie attended UW-Oshkosh from 1938-42 and lettered in football four years, track three years, and basketball two years.

In football, he played tailback and was a triple threat, running, throwing and punting the ball. Kiddie was the conference champion in the javelin in 1940-42 and captained the team in 1942. He played minor league baseball in Oshkosh upon his graduation before joining the U.S. Navy.

Kiddie served as executive and engineering officer of a minesweeper in the Pacific, participating in four invasions. Ironically, Kiddie ran into his Oshkosh coach, Bob Kolf, on the Island of Manis in the Admiralties.

Kiddie taught and coached at Wonewoc, Sparta and Tomahawk. He is now the General Manager of the Westvaco Corporation's Maryland Container Plant in Baltimore.
