He is the eldest o f three children,

wick, Washington. He is the son o f a

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

carried him into several fields o f em
ploym ent. He w orked as a m ill

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

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

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

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 . . . Inside
the walls o f O.S.P.

the hardest victory is the victory over SELF.
Aristotle

The greatest thing in the world is to know
how to be sufficient unto oneself.
