Dr. Foster was a teacher of mine while studying geography at UVic.  I am now studying Naturopathic Medicine.  The last time I spoke with Dr. Foster was before applying to go to school, just to chat about global health and orthomolecular nutrition, and in particular about his work with HIV/AIDS.  Dr. Foster was such an inspiration to my life.  Taking his classes completely altered the way I look at the world and in particular health.  He is one of the main reasons I chose the career path that I'm now on.  It was an honour to know such a fine man.
