U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Christopher Hughes, a 1983 graduate of Northwest Missouri State University, returned to campus Tuesday as the keynote speaker for the 2014 Northwest Missouri State University Leadership Symposium. “I always enjoy returning to Northwest,” Hughes said. “Plus, to have the opportunity to speak on leadership is a big plus for me.” Hughes currently serves as the deputy commanding general, U.S. Army Combined Arms Center — Leader Development and Education. He is also deputy commandant, U.S. Army Command and General Staff College, at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. “At Leavenworth, our campus is larger than Northwest,” Hughes said. “Our facility is truly the intellectual center of the Army.” Hughes encouraged the audience to put themselves in uncomfortable situations and take risks to develop leadership skills. “In our leadership program, we put candidates in untenable situations,” Hughes said. “We want to see how they react and test their ability to think out of the box. We encourage out of the box thought as long as the parameters of the box are defined and understood.” Leaders must develop a twoway trust with those they lead, said Hughes, who listed three factors he believes convey and affirm that trust. “First of all, a leader must be edu-

Classic autos are Nickle’s passion By STEVE HARTMAN Staff writer
Canadian-born Terry Nickle has lived and worked all over the world, including Bermuda and California. But the one passion that has accompanied him through all of these stops is his love for
classic vehicle restoration and collection. “My love of vehicles started when I was 11 years old, growing up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada,” Nickle said. “My first passion was motorcycles and motor scooters, and my first job was pumping gas for fifty cents an hour plus gas for
my motor scooter.” Nickle came to the United States and graduated from the University of Oklahoma, then went to graduate school in Denver while working in hotel management. This line of work allowed Nickle to work in several destinations, both in and out of the United States.
