John and Kathie Foerster

John and I met on Armed Forces Day in May of 1960. It was open house at Fairchild AFB.

We were introduced under a wing of a B-52.

After a year of dating, we were married in June of ’61.

We have three adult children, nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

So much love all these years.

Sincerely, Kathie Foerster
