Reason? Her mother is Joan Kaspari '40, former feature editor of the Skyscraper and writer of fashion scripts after graduation. Her father, William John Foster, Jr., who was a Tribune reporter, is now in the Navy, and was sent to London re cently as a war correspondent for the Stars ami Stripes, servicemen's daily newspaper.
