Murphy J. Foster, Jr.
Murphy James Foster, Jr., known as Mike Foster (born July 11, 1930), served as the 53rd governor of Louisiana from January 1996 until January 2004. Foster's father was Murphy J. Foster, Jr., but Mike Foster uses "Jr." even though he is technically Murphy J. Foster, III. Foster is a businessman, landowner, and sportsman in St. Mary Parish in the sugar-growing section of the southern portion of the state.
==Early life and career==
Mike Foster was born in Franklin, the seat of government of St. Mary Parish. His father, also named Murphy J. Foster, was an area sugar planter and owner of oil and natural gas lands; his mother, Olive Roberts (1904-1990), was descended from a prominent family in Minden in Webster Parish and Shreveport in Caddo Parish in northwestern Louisiana. Foster's maternal great-grandfather, Captain Alfred Goodwill (1830-1905), was a native of England and a captain in the Confederate Army.〔John Agan, "The Legacy of Captain Alfred Goodwill," ''North Louisiana History'', Vol. 27, Nos. 2-3 (Spring-Summer 1996), pp. 103-109〕 Captain Goodwill opened an 18,000-square foot general store in Minden, a "superstore" believed at the time to be the largest such enterprise in the state, from which one could even purchase a casket and embalming fluid. The Goodwill Road in Minden is named in his honor.〔John A. Agan, "Captain Alfred Goodwill's Descendant (Murphy J. Foster, Jr.) Makes News", ''Minden Press-Herald'', November 3, 1995〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Capt. Alfred Goodwill )〕 Captain Goodwill and his five children from his first marriage moved to Minden in 1873 from neighboring Claiborne Parish with his newly-acquired second wife, the former Ida Victoria Hill (1838-1937). One of the three children of Captain Goodwill and his second wife Ida, was Olive Goodwill (born c. 1875). She married Robert Roberts, Jr., a former mayor of both Farmerville in Union Parish and Minden, a state representative for Webster Parish, a state district court judge, and an attorney in private practice in Shreveport. Their daughter, Olive Roberts,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Olive Roberts Foster )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Olive Roberts (Goodwill) )〕 subsequently married Murphy James Foster, the son of Governor Murphy J. Foster, Sr., and the father of subsequent Governor Mike Foster. One of Foster's cousins, Jasper Goodwill, was the mayor of Minden from 1955 to 1958.〔
Foster attended public high school in Franklin, graduated from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge in 1952 with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, and Southern University Law Center with a Juris Doctorate in 2004, the year he left the governorship. He became an Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America in 1946 and is a recipient of the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award. He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon Fraternity (Zeta Zeta chapter) and The Friars. He joined the Air Force and served in the Korean War. His paternal grandfather, Murphy J. Foster Sr., was governor of Louisiana from 1892 to 1900 and thereafter as U.S. senator from 1900 to 1913. By the time Mike Foster entered politics, he had already become a wealthy sugar planter and owner of a construction firm. He resides at Oaklawn Manor, an antebellum plantation mansion in Franklin.
Foster entered politics at the age of fifty-seven. In 1987, then-Democrat Foster unseated liberal Democratic state Senator Anthony Guarisco, Jr., of Morgan City by a large margin. Foster is said to have run for the state Senate because Guarisco would not return his telephone calls.〔 Guarisco was a vocal supporter of the defunct Equal Rights Amendment. Foster served two terms in the state Senate and then ran for governor.
