How long have you lived in Foster City? My parents moved to Foster City when I was in college, so since 1965.

How often do you play tennis? Five days a week. 

What is so rewarding about playing tennis for you? It's the friendship, the exercise and being outside.

What is your favorite Foster City park? I just go wherever there are tennis courts.

What do you love most about living in Foster City? I love the fact that I can go out my boat right out in my backyard and the convenience of the city with shopping.  You don't have to leave the city for hardly anything.

What is one your favorite Foster City memories? The Fourth of July with the fireworks and the rubber ducky raft race.  Most people who have been here a long time remember the rubber ducky raft race.  It was a really big deal.  Radio stations and TV stations would come and everybody would get rafts and go out on the water and race.

If you could change one thing about Foster City what would it be? I don't want to see the city get more congested.  The (city) is talking about getting more businesses and more homes, and it's just going to get more congested.

Giants or As?  Raiders or 49ers? Giants and 49ers.   But of course, the As and the Raiders are always my second choice.
