Charles & Paul Foster

c 1927 - These are Marie's two brothers Charles Jones Foster (1925-2012) and saluting Paul Everett Foster, Jr (1922-1995). They were born in and grew up in Marietta. Their father died when they were just boys and they had to find part time jobs to help support the family. The both got jobs at The Strand Theater. Paul was a projection operator and Charles did odd jobs such as getting the weekly coming attractions programs printed out and distributed.

They both went into the armed forces during WW II. Paul went into the Marines and Charles went into the Air Army and learned to be a pilot.

Paul fought in the Pacific and Charles flew supplies into war zones.

After the war Charles was hired as a pilot for TWA. Paul joined the Air Force.

After his Air Force obligation he Paul returned to Marietta and became a postal employee.

Charles told me he was a Marietta Postal employee one time too. I think it was probably before he went into the service.

Paul became the head window technician. Some people thought he was Marietta's Postmaster.

Paul and his wife Barbara Shea and Charles and his first wife Florence Rogers all share the same plot at Kennesaw Memorial Cemetery
