End Of An Era

 Our much-loved Lake Tahoe Community College art professor David Foster passed away last week.

David was a friend to hundreds and instructor to thousands. An icon of the arts and a part of the bedrock of the Tahoe community, he was one of the original founders of the Lake Tahoe Community College, and he served as head of the art department for decades.

Some knew David as a professor who taught figure drawing, others as the leader of many student trips to Europe to study art. Some knew him as a marble sculptor who worked in Italy. Some knew him as a photographer. Some knew him as a fitness enthusiast who could seemingly run forever.

All knew him as a dedicated, thoughtful man who, while fun and often funny, never lost his focus on being an earnest, smart teacher, tireless supporter of the community, and husband of his great wife Joanne and father of their kids.

We will miss him very much.
