They had three sons. Pat is living with his wife and her two granddaughters in Richmond. Jeff works in Bristol, and Greg is still in Rappahannock, working in the construction business. When her children were young, she stayed in the home. “I believed a mother’s place is in the home, and I’ve never had to blame myself for anything,” she said.

Her mother was living with them able to eiyoy her grandchildren and at times to forget the past. As the children grew older, Mrs. Foster began substituting in school.

She didn’t tell of her wartime experiences. The memories were too painful. However, in 1981, she went to Warren County to talk to high school classes about what had happened to her family during the war. “By the end of it, I was crying, the teachers were crying, and most of the children were crying, but I felt as if a tremendous weight had been lifted from my back,” she said. She also told her story in Culpeper and in Rappahannock schools.
