In 1945, Wallace Edwards Jr. was born in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. As a young boy, he and his family moved to Houston, Texas. There, Wallace attended Jesse Jones High School and graduated in the year of 1963. During his time there, he met the future love of his life, Marcella. He then continued to pursue an education at Texas Tech until he joined the United States Air Force in the year of 1965. This same year, he and Marcella had fallen in love and changed their title from high school sweethearts to husband and wife. After the time he spent serving his country in the Air Force, Wallace worked in IT and eventually worked for Bechtel, the largest construction company in the United States. He continued his career with them in the IT department until his retirement in 2014.
