MCCONNELL AIR FORCE BASE, Kan. --  Team McConnell would like to honor Tim Foster, civilian engineer, Janet, homemaker and medical assistant, their 17-year-old daughter Sarah, 15-year-old son Phillip and 13-year-old son Kevin by giving them a Year of the Air Force Family Spotlight award. The award is an Airman and Family Readiness Center initiative to honor families that provide outstanding support to Team McConnell.
