John Edwards was born in Seneca, South Carolina, on June 10, 1953 to Wallace Edwards, a textile mill manager, and "Bobbie" Wade, a letter carrier. The family (his younger sister Kathy is to his left) eventually moved to North Carolina. Edwards was a football star in school (shown here senior year, 1970), but he was unable to get an athletic scholarship in college, and had to leave after one semester.
