JoAnne Foster tells many stories of her and her husband's lives in Boulder. Her husband, Bob Foster, grew up in Boulder in the 1940s. She and Bob both worked for the Boulder Valley School District; Bob mainly as a coach and JoAnne mainly as a counselor. JoAnne describes the consolidation in 1960 of eleven small school districts that today cover Boulder County: the Boulder Valley RE-2 school district and the St. Vrain school district. Although JoAnne talks about working at Platt Junior High and Fairview High School, she talks most in depth about her years at Casey Junior High during the 1970s and 1980s under principal David Zeckser. She describes the great diversity of the school's population and the many approaches that were used to meet the individual needs of students at that time. She also talks about the 1960s and 1970s as a time of social upheaval, in terms of hippie culture and anti-war protests. As a side topic, JoAnne also explains the evolution of the restuarant scene in Boulder, from nearly non-existent before the 1970s when Boulder was a dry town, to the blossoming of it as a foodie mecca once the sale of alcohol was legalized.
