Sedley was born in Stratford, Iowa in 1921, but moved with his family to Long Beach, California during the “Dust Bowl” days. He had a gentle, quick-witted, generous spirit which belied his fierce determination. After graduating from Wilson High School in California, he enlisted in the Navy in 1940. As a SeaBee, he cleared jungles for landing strips in the South Pacific during World War II. He later served as a naval aviator, flying torpedo bombers off aircraft carriers. After the war, he used the GI Bill to go from a high school diploma to a doctorate, while raising five kids with his much-loved wife, Betty Ann. As a new university graduate, he taught at Curtis Agricultural High School in Curtis, NE, and then was an elementary school principal in McCook, NE. After receiving his doctorate in education, Sedley was a member of the faculty at Alma College for 25 years, the latter fifteen as chairman of the Education Department.
