+""Bio:""
+James Foster discovered the local university’s computer center as a junior-high student in 1971 and a
+life-long obsession with computers began. He was introduced to Smalltalk/V for the Mac in the mid-90s,
+and became a Smalltalk fan. James teaches undergraduate computer science classes and serves as
+VP of Finance & Operations for GemTalk Systems. He is a passionate advocate for GemStone and all
+things Smalltalk.
