Foster (b. 1917) was born in Alba (Texas) and attended several high schools before graduating from Emery High as a valedictorian.
He got his B.A. and Masters in Biology from North Texas Teachers College. He met his future wife, a home economics major, while he was a teaching assistant there. In the late 1930s, he got his Ph.D. in Bacteriology at the University of Wisconsin. During World War II, Foster became a second lieutenant in the Army's Sanitary Corps where he inspected barracks and mess halls. Later, his job changed to researching anthrax and biological warfare for the Army. After the war, Foster and his wife moved back to Madison and he taught Food and Dairy Bacteriology for forty-two years at the University of Wisconsin.
