John W. Foster ’44 *49
John died in San Angelo, Tex., on June 8, 2001, after a period of failing health. He came to Princeton from Peddie School. He left for war service in the infantry, returning to graduate in 1947 and take a master's degree as well.
A practicing psychologist for 10 years at Skillman Village, near Princeton, he then worked at a Colorado aerospace company, then as a consultant in Dallas, and then with GTE in San Angelo as director of personnel. Later he joined Consolidated Edison in Connecticut as a psychologist and taught at the U. of Conn. When he retired in 1995, John returned to San Angelo, where he had family, and followed his hobby of making lapidary jewelry.
He and Jacqueline had seven children, John, Susan, twins David and Thomas, who died several years ago in an automobile accident, Kathy, Peter, and Scott.
The class extends its sympathy to the entire family.
