Mrs. Foster, thank you for being a wonderful mentor to me when I worked as a summer hired in Civilian Personnel back in the day. Between you & Dottie I didn't get a break, but I am so thankful for the opportunity to have worked for such a beautiful sassy, educated, nonsense (maybe just a little) and strong woman. I know that you are in a better place. I will never forget you. Much Love, Apryl
