I was a student at North Texas State University in Denton, TX the '70-'71 school year with Ron and last saw him there in '84 playing at the school in an Air Force jazz band stationed at Fort Collins. At that time he qualified himself as a "Funk" expert.(I'm not too sure service life agreed with Foster then and like any practicing X-tian I'm able to advise or anyone with a taste for excellent writing and profound and useful timely intelligence I'd recommend reading the late John M. Allegro's book THE CHOSEN PEOPLE-coordinator of the team that translated the Dead Sea scrolls and that group's only secular member who was a lecturer at the University of Manchester)

p. s. Ron. WZHPN?
