## Early Life

Chester Lucas Webster was born on July 30, 1947, in Anchorage, in what was then the Territory of Alaska (before 1959), to Garfield Lucas Webster II, and Eleanora Deborah McClellan. Chester was 8 years old when his grandfather Garfield Lucas Webster died in 1955, and Chester was close to his grandfather, Chester was one of Garfield Webster's grandchildren who called him "Papa Webster" and since his grandfather's death, Garfield Webster II and Eleanora McClellan, who were a young married couple with children, inherited their father's manor in Anchorage where he died and moved out of the motel apartment that they rented.

As the Cold War was heating up, Chester saw his father engaged in American politics, attending events of the Democratic Party, and Chester and his older brother Garfield III were made by their father to campaign for Adlai Stevenson in the 1956 U.S. presidential election, and Stevenson lost election to the incumbent Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower by a crushing landslide.

Chester's parents sent him to an all-boys Anglican Church Grammar School, an Anglican boarding school in East Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. Chester was raised into the Democratic Party while raised into socially conservative ideas such as opposition to LGBT Rights, Abortion Rights, Women's Rights in general, and the Counterculture movement. Chester's mother raised him into supporting the poor, welfare programs, and supporting the Civil Rights Movement, while his father wanted to maintain white supremacist policies in terms of segregation.

After graduating in 1965, his father forced him to go to the military, signing him up to military academy in West Point, and he immediately went to war in Vietnam the same year. Chester met Jackie Blakeley at West Point and at some point fell in love. Taking a break in Saigon, Chester and Jackie had their first child in 1970, Jackie named the child after him, Chester Lucas Webster II, and Chester feared the anger of his deeply religious father if he told him that Chester Jr was actually born out of wedlock.
