 JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) - In 1991, the state representative from Nome faced federal gun charges. Six unregistered machines guns and a 50 mm Soviet mortar were found in Richard Foster's possession.
In many other places, such troubles could be grounds for a recall or at least cold shoulders. Instead, Foster's constituents threw a fundraiser to help pay for his defense.
Now facing a more serious challenge — he has a life-threatening kidney disease and needs a transplant — friends once again are rallying to Foster's side.
