Dr. Foster is really quite like having a team in your corner, he very obviously read my file which is extensive, and captured so much information, it is a marvel to watch him work. He is unique in his thinking, and I feel so very lucky to have the skill of this man to deal with this problem, which we will find out I am sure. In addition to his skills, he has a sense of humor, much appreciated. This is the man every mother wants her daughter to marry. Off topic but I had the thought, and wanted to share it.
