== Early life and education ==
Weldon grew up in a blue-collar family in Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania. He was the youngest of nine children. He attended West Chester University of Pennsylvania and earned a B.A. in Russian Studies in 1969, making him the first in his family to graduate from college. At West Chester University, Weldon became a brother of Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity.
After graduation, Weldon was subject to the draft, with the Vietnam War ongoing. In November 2000, his office said he used student and teaching deferments during the Vietnam era, and had a low number when the draft lottery was reinstated.〔Marlene DiGiacomo, ("Curt demands count of military ballots" ), ''Delaware County Times'', November 23, 2000〕 In July 2006, a Weldon spokesman said that Weldon "wanted to serve, but the military would not take him because of his extremely poor eyesight."〔William Bender, ("Pa. GOP rips Sestak for wearing Navy uniform" ), ''Delaware County Times'', July 27, 2006〕
