CLAUDIA was named for CLAUDIA ALICIA MARTINEZ FOSTER, who paid the ultimate price in the attack on America September 11, 2001. Claudia Alicia Martinez Foster, age 26, Staten Island, New York, was employed as a broker assistant with Cantor Fitzgerald on the 105th floor of Tower 1 of the World Trade Center. Married less than a year, she is survived by her husband, Kurt. A devoted family lady, an American of Guatemalan heritage, she always took care of her three younger sisters and planned her own family with her husband. We salute Ms. Foster, a hero, and name this cute puppy in her honor.
