Midyette, 41, of Pinetown, is a student in BCCC’s Heavy Construction Equipment Program. A graduate of Northside High School, Midyette is employed in the marine construction industry. He is the son of Patricia Wallace of Pantego and James A. Midyette of Washington. After completing his studies at BCCC, Midyette plans to work as a diesel mechanic.
The Lucille Edwards Carowan Dibble Endowment was established in 2007 by her husband, Lewis M.

It funds an industrial technology scholarship for a student attending BCCC.

Mrs. Dibble chaired a $600,000 bond issue to fund capital improvements at then Beaufort County Technical Institute which included construction of the institute’s first library. For seven years, Mrs. Dibble also chaired BCCC’s College Parallel Committee which oversaw changes in the school’s curriculum which were needed during the transition from technical institute to community college.
