Son
of Laura D and Horton C Hinton, Edward Craig Hinton was born in Jacksonville
Florida on the 15th of June1944. His Father was a US Naval man and a
welterweight golden gloves champion boxer to boot, strong willed and
tough as they came, no doubt much of his strength bestowed to him from
Eddie's Grandfather, Church Of Christ Preacher Pryde E. Hinton.
When Eddie was five Deanie and Horton Hinton divorced, with Deanie and
young Eddie moving to Tuscaloosa Alabama to live. It was here that Eddie
spent his youth eventually attending the University of Alabama. |
