“I took the first flight back to the States and got there six hours before the baby was born,” Chester said. “One of the advantages of where we base ourselves is that it’s only 11 miles away from the Frankfurt airport.”
Chester said he was excited and thrilled with the birth of his son, and he’ll spend a few days with his family in Ocala, Fla., before returning to Germany on Aug. 26.
