Foster's Story
Life
I have been married and divorced 3 times, and am still on speaking terms with all the ex-wives. I have 3 biological children (Foster III, Laurinda, and Lusinda), 2 step-children (Wind and Monica), and 9 grandchildren. All of the grandchildren, ages 28-7, live in states other than Colorado: 5 in Nebraska, 3 in Arizona, and 1 in California.
I was a skier for 16 years, a member of 2 ski clubs, The Winter Fox Ski Association in L.A., and The Slippers-N-Sliders in Denver, been white-water rafting a number of times, both in California and in Colorado, owned a motorcycle, and still plan to buy another (three-wheeler). Have been riding my 2005 Honda Shadow trike since 2007. Just sold it April, 2014, after my hands were injured (tendinitis) from squeezing the hand brake and clutch. My next vehicle will probably be a Can-Am Spyder, which has no hand brake, nor clutch. I've ridden that vehicle a couple of times and really like...Expand for more
it.
Workplace
I worked in the printing industry as a typesetter from 1956-1976 after finishing a printing program at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College. I had back surgery in 1977 and was unable to return to printing, so I went to LACC and earned an AA in Paralegal Studies.
I worked as a Paralegal from 1979 to 1984, at which time I gravitated back to the printing industry, this time as a Proofreader. I left Los Angeles in 1989, moving to Denver, Colorado. i worked as a Proofreader, then a Platemaker at a couple of printing plants in Denver, then became at Editor for US West, which later became Qwest, which later became Dex Media, Inc. We publish the Dex Yellow Pages. My department produced the Community Pages in the front of the book -- that section which features Attractions, Performing Arts, Maps of the City, etc.
Retired Oct., 2009
Have been in the financial services business with Primerica, but quit recently.
