He is the eldest o f three children, raised on the family's farm in Kenne wick, Washington. He is the son o f a farmer/busincssman and his mother taught in public elementary school for 35 years. Chick worked on the family's farm (whenever he was not in school) until he was 21 years old, operating farm machinery as well as other chores. Chick was very active in 4-H work, where he trained, fed and groomed hereford steers for the local fairs. C hick E dw ards' a b ilitie s have carried him into several fields o f em ploym ent. He w orked as a m ill worker, school bus driver, inventory clerk and even as an attendant in a service station. Most o f all, Chick has the natural ability to meet and listen to people. His love for people became his thing. A fte r completing high school in Kennewick, Chick moved to Salem where he attended Willamette Uni versity. It is only a few blocks away from O.S.P. Even though he was earning a degree in economics and p o litical science. Chick became a great admirer o f Hoyt C. Cupp, the Superintendent at O.S.P. After graduating from W illamette, Chick worked two years as an inven tory control clerk at F reightliner Corporation in Portland. This job enabled him to enroll in night school at P.S.U. as a graduate student. W ith the assurance o f a loan and f i nancial aid from P.S.U., in the form o f a jo b as assistant to the C ity Com m issioner L lo y d Anderson, Chick was able to go to school fu ll time for the final year o f his graduate work. Graduating with a Masters Degree in Business Adm inistration, Chick took a position as Fiscal Analyst with the City o f Portland. He moni tored the management practices and budgeting procedures o f all protec tion services in the City o f Portland (police, fire, etc.). Later, Chick ac cepted the position o f Fiscal A dm ini strator for the Portland Bureau o f Police, a position he held fo r 3 Vi years. He resigned and joined the firm o f C .H . Edwards and A ssociation In c ., a management consulting firm based in Salem, Oregon.

Shortly after Chick Edwards had taken the oath as State Represen tative, he received a phone call from a prisoner at O.S.P. He was asked if he w ould be a guest at a class studying law and government. Chick readily accepted. His concern for people did not stop at a thirty foot wall with gun towers and bars. Accepting such an invitation was a th rillin g experience fo r C hick. It gave him the opportunity to explore why the growth o f the prison popula tion has been increasing so rapidly over the past few years. Chick also thought it was fortunate that he was being called upon by prisoners who wanted to gain knowledge about the workings o f government. After all, Chick would be voting on many o f the laws that these inmates would have to understand and obey. Chick Edwards and Shirley Mead, were impressed by the prisoners and their interest in the procedures o f Oregon law. They quickly became at tached to the group and began to at tend other sessions. During this period o f time Chick became aware o f other needs that concerned him. For example, correc tional employees were seeking sup port for a bill that would enable them to work beyond the mandatory retirem ent age, i f q u a lifie d and physically able. He gave them that support. Chick Edwards at the age o f 33, did not have any idea how far his duties would carry him after January 2, 1979. He didn’t care, just as long as he served the people o f his district and Oregon to the best o f his ability. Never forgetting those thousands o f doors he had knocked upon prior to winning, never forgetting those thousands o f faces he had met and those speeches he had made, he is a legislator with a purpose. • “ Our rewards must be the result o f our e ffo rts." • “ Knowledge must go hand in hand with understanding." • “ Integrity must be the corner stone o f all politics.” Chick Edwards may have won the votes o f people who live in his district, but he has since won the hearts o f many folks in a district where votes don’t count . . .
