During his early years he attended Currituck County schools. Lester later attended and received his high school diploma from Currituck High School. As a natural born athlete, he was also a member of the high school basketball team. Lester continued his passion for sports, becoming an avid sports fan that most refer to as “a person who never misses a game”. As an industrious worker all of his life, Lester started working at an early age in North Carolina and later moved to South Hampton, NY after high school. Once in NY, Lester met the love of his life, Ola M. Davis, and married her in 1962.
