Thank you Dr. Foster for all that you've done for us. May you have peace with all the other great geniuses of music history--Brahms, Stravinsky, Bruckner, Bernstein, Fennell, Sousa, Vaughn, Fitzgerald, Ellington, Armstrong, Revelli...Foster. I never met you, but you had a great influence on my life. You are truly my hero! THANK YOU!!
