In Germany, they visited Bonn and Berlin and had similar programs. Two years later, she returned to Germany as a Girl Scout counselor in the only residential camp in Europe and Asia. Most of the campers were children of the American military or diplomatic corps. This past semester, Foster went to Vienna under an American University program. She lived in a international dormitory with students from Turkey, eastern Europe and other parts of the world, and worked in the trade section of the Federal Economics Chamber of Austria.
Summers are active times for Foster, as well.
As she did last year, this summer Foster will work as a research assistant for Hedrick Smith in the Foreign Policy Institute of the Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies. Smith is working on a four-part PBS series on competitiveness between Germany, Japan and the United States, which is scheduled to be aired in 1993. Foster also will be gearing up to write her senior thesis for the University Honors Program. She is investigating the aspects and implications of the unification of Germany. Although she was not there when the Berlin Wall was torn down, she visited Berlin before and after and has first hand impressions and experiences about events surrounding unification.
