Gary Lee Seacrest

Gary Lee Seacrest was the son of US Army General Henry Skeen. He was born and raised in Alabama. Gary aspired to follow in his father’s footsteps and join the military.

He was a student at Officer Candidate School and would be stationed in West Berlin. He went to a dance party with his old schoolmate Constance just before his vacation to Germany.

Even though the Vietnam War was still going on and Gary could easily be deployed there as a soldier, the chemistry between them started right away, and Gary proposed to her.

They were stationed in Germany for two years before returning to Alabama, Georgia, and settling down. Gary left service to pursue a career as a real estate attorney.
