Gwen Foster Song-ography
KMLE “Shiftwork”: Monday-Friday from 9am to 1pm
“Where I Come From”: Born in TEXAS, grew up in Stephenville, a small, beautiful town about 1 hour southwest of Dallas-Ft.Worth. http://tourtexas.com/stephenville/
“Celebrity”: Stephenville may be a small Texas town but it is home to many celebrities. Ty Murray and Jewel own a ranch in Stephenville. I attended school with blues/country slide guitar master LeeRoy Parnell http://www.leeroyparnell.com/. And those famous Stephenville UFO sightings in Spring 2008 really put my hometown on the map!”
“Mama Tried”: She did more than try! My mom is an amazing woman. She raised my 3 siblings and me mostly as a single parent. I don’t know how she did it! Her name is Shirley and she now lives in Granbury, Texas with her husband and my step-dad, Neil.
”Who’s Your Daddy”: My daddy is Bob Moody, a retired oil man, who lives with his wife in the south Texas town of Jourdantan (JERD-in-tun).
“He Didn’t Have To Be”: My step-dad Neil married my mom just as I was moving out of the house to go to college. He helped me buy my first car, loaned me money when I needed help, fed me countless meals, took me on vacations I couldn’t ever have afforded, and gave me his sage advice (which I sometimes heeded and sometimes didn’t!). He didn’t have to take all his wife’s grown children in and treat them as his own, but he did and does.
“Family Tradition”: Sis Margaret, Sis Marjorie, Bro Paul, Bro Brad, Bro Eric Zane. They are my best friends and I couldn’t imagine not having them in my life.
“When I Said I Do”: I met my husband Chris when I was still living in Texas, but after a year-long, long distance romance, I moved to Arizona and we got married.
“I Saw God Today”: I see God’s beauty everyday - my son Dillon is 13 and my daughter Lawsen Anne is 11.
“All My Exes Live in Texas”: NO, I am not going to tell you about all my past love life! This classic George Strait song includes a line about my families annual and favorite vacation spot. Every July since I was a toddler, we have packed up the camping gear and moved into our camping spot on the Frio River in Texas. The line goes “I remember that old Frio where I learned to swim”. My kids now live this tradition!
