WARSAW, IND. (April 16, 2007) – Warsaw resident Craig Tidball, author of “Portraits in Character,” will speak at Ivy Tech Community College-Warsaw’s alumni luncheon on April 19.

Craig Tidball is a limited partner with Edward Jones and has been an investment representative with the financial services firm since 1979. He is past chairman and currently a member of the board of trustees of his alma mater, Greenville College (Greenville, Ill.).

“Portraits in Character” is a collection of tributes given to family, friends and business colleagues by the author. The recipients are as diverse as former Indianapolis mayor William Hudnet, Craig's father and colleagues from Edward Jones Investments.

According to Tidball, "This book is about the masters, the artists of life, who work among us every day and their medium is the canvas fabric of our communities. My hope in sharing these tributes is to prompt the reader to observe persons of character who enrich their own lives and who in turn challenge us to enrich other people’s lives."
