EDWIN DAVID REED
Edwin David Reed was born March 3, 1943, to Glen and Ollie Reed in Orofino. Unfortunately, he lost his mother when he was in the third grade and his father when he was in the fifth grade. He was then raised by his Aunt Mae and Uncle Aaron Reed, who became his mom and dad. He inherited two brothers, Aaron and Steve. He also had a half-sister, Vi, and a half-brother, Bob.
Ed grew up in Kamiah and graduated from high school in 1961. He attended college for one year at Idaho State University in Pocatello. In 1962 he, along with his good friend Dale Adams, joined the U.S. Marine Corps. He served in the Marine Corps for four years.
