Following his graduation, he went to work at University (now UAB) Hospital in Birmingham, planning to enroll in the new MA program in Hospital Administration, when it opened. I was working in the Chemistry lab, having completed Medical Technology School there, the previous year.
We met while bowling in the hospital league,and began dating. We were married in 1962, and moved to Iowa City, for Foster to earn his Master's Degree at the University of Iowa - he had just enough G I Bill left for the academic year.
We returned to Birmingham, where our only daughter, Valerie Joan, was born. He was so proud of her! Foster was able to meet her future husband, John C Gsell, at Thanksgiving, 1999, and he would have loved our wonderful grandchildren, Ian Foster and Olivia May Gsell. We talk about "Papa Foster" to them, so they will know about their grandfather. Jerri
