My home in Comfort, Texas is located on a backcountry road at the end of a long driveway, peacefully lined with live oak, red oak and cedar trees, as well as, whitetail deer. It is two miles away from the hustle and bustle of a German settlement founded in 1854. The German sect who found this little paradise next to the Guadalupe River were self-titled, “Free Thinkers”. I don’t believe in coincidence…as here is where I was raised on a small ranch.
My father, Rex Foster Sr., was a frustrated actor/singer born in 1919. Both he and my mother, Louise, moved from small towns in Kansas and spent a portion of their young life together in Los Angeles. My father joined the Air Force, which eventually landed them in Texas with two children to raise (myself and my older sister, Lucia). As a family, we moved a few times during my earliest years, but by the 5th grade, we landed on a small ranch outside of Comfort, Texas, now popularly referred to as, “The Texas Hill Country”.
