Mike Foster with Kathy Huntington.
I am very sorry to report that Mike Foster died on Saturday, November 30th at his home. Mike was the cousin of former Dresden Town Supervisor, Sue Foster Ives and the partner of Kathy Huntington, the Dresden historian.
On a personal note, Mike provided me with critical information and the only known photograph of his great grandfather, Willis C. Foster, who discovered the Hulett Hotel fire in 1915 and which can be found in my book, The Hulett Hotel Fire on Lake George.
Mike was a “bear” of a man, with a heart to match, who loved talking about the history of Dresden and Huletts Landing. He will be sadly missed.
Our condolences and prayers go out to the Foster and Huntington families for their loss.
“May God support us all the day long, till the shades lengthen and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in His mercy may He give us a safe lodging, and a holy rest and peace at the last.”
I will post additional info once I hear more. (Photo provided by the Foster family.)
