Bernie Franklin Brewster, III, Born 12:12 AM, July 6, 1980 at Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. He is the oldest child of Father Bernie Franklin Brewster, Jr,. Mother, Cathleen Sue Beers. Bernie has a younger brother Cameron Sean Brewster, who was born in March 1982. Bernie was born by cesarean section after a labor of more than 12 hours. His parents resided in Worthington Ohio where they lived until Bernie was 5. They moved to Columbus where they lived down the street from his grandparents for several years.

As a child Bernie was a bright, active little boy who took delight in being ornery towards his younger brother. His parents strongly believed in early childhood education so his early education began at 4 years of age. He attended pre school at Grace Brethern Christian for one year where he seemed to enjoy being with other children. After he turned 5, he attended Ecole Franciase Pre Kindergarden where he began to learn the French language. He spent his Kindergarden year at Grace Brethern Christian School. His first grade year he attended Ecole Kenwood Elementary. Ecole Kenwood is a Columbus Public Alternative school which provides immersion learning style in the French language. There his teachers and school administrators spoke to the children in French nearly 90% of the time. His teachers were all French and Belgium born so the children learned to speak the language without American accents. After 5th grade Bernie applied for admission to Wellington Prep School. A school founded by noted Columbus area residents such as the late Dave Thomas, founder of Wendys Restarants. He was required to take a placement in order to qualify for admission.His mother asked him after he completed the test if it had been difficult. He said it was a little hard. When the school administrator contacted Bernie's parents in regard to his entrance test, he said that there had been a mistake and that Bernie had been given the wrong test. He had given Bernie the 7th grade exam based on his mistaken belief that Bernie was older. Bernie was a full head taller than most of his 6th grade school mates. There was good news however, Bernie passed the 7th grade exam and was of course accepted into Wellington as a student. Bernie continued his French Studies in 6th grade as well as playing Basketball and saxophone in band. Bernie also excelled in his art classes. In 7th grade Bernie switched to Latin for his foreign language because he decided he wanted to be a doctor.
