10 Meet Your Neighbor Lois Kastner By Donna Anderson The Fort Leavenworth sponsor has the main responsibility to get the officer settled including helping him or her open a bank account find housing rent furniture get a driver s license find a car to buy and anything else to get them settled So reads the current description of Lois and David Kastner sponsors for the Command and General Staff College CGSC International Military Student Division in Ft Leavenworth Kansas So too it must have read when Lois Kastner was approached to become a family liaison team member for international students and families arriving at the graduate school some 20 years ago She and her husband David embraced the challenge and began a period of serving and bonding with people across the globe that continues today Being a good will ambassador is a natural fit for Lois A military brat with fond memories of that life she was born in Panama grew up in Germany and studied internationally With a BA in Interior Design her first gig was in palace design in Washington D C It included projects for some of the Saudi royal families This was a huge opportunity It taught me respect for cultural perimeters When the Kastners relocated to Frankfort Kentucky Lois opened her own consulting business Professional Design Associates She later moved it to Winter Park Florida where they lived for 18 years Through the American Society of International Design ASID Lois became instrumental in creating state licensing for professional regulations in Florida one of the first states in the country to do so The bulk of her work however has been in restoration preservation and adaptive reuse As they say the greenest building is one that already exists She has received numerous awards for her work in both Kentucky and Florida A third generation Rotarian Lois spent several years involved in humanitarian work in Panama It included the introduction of clean water school kitchens and medical clinics as well as the supplies needed for each another award winning achievement Finally Lois s passion as a photographer was born the Christmas Day of her sixth year when Santa left a little camera under the Christmas tree From that day forward the chance to document her travels and experiences as well as those of others became an automatic reflex It has brought her much joy FEBRUARY 2019 Fifteen years ago Lois closed her business and the Kastners moved to Kansas to be closer to family They found a home near Ft Leavenworth and Lois found a part time job on base As they say the rest is history The families under their sponsorship arrived and David and Lois met them at the airport with welcome baskets signs and balloons It was kind of a big deal Though David still worked Lois gave up her day job to make time for their international flock She helped them look for housing options furnishings and schools She took them to medical appointments car shopping found them winter clothing usually reclaimed etc She could be available at a moment s notice and was often the one called to pick up a sick child from school or bring them a change of clothing Most of the moms didn t drive so she taught several women to man the wheel on their own Almost anything you can imagine we ve encountered We became their family and they became ours At every event for the women and for the officers Lois had her camera ready At school plays at the children s sporting events she created a chronology of life in America and put it on line so that the extended families back home could see their loved ones were safe and happy I could easily take 2500 pictures every few days Thus whether calling on professional volunteer or leisure time skills Lois s background came into play I couldn t have done everything I did without David s support It took both of us We both received the benefits for sure When she thinks back on what the US International relationship means Lois remembers reports from American officers who learned more from their international colleagues than the foreign students learned from them By being together one on one perspectives on our country are exchanged and appreciated A lot of people want to say America s a dirty word around the world but you talk to these people who ve spent a year here and you see the other side of the story As an American that s something I m very proud about I guess my path was set at birth born overseas growing up in Europe working with international clients doing humanitarian work a love for travel and other cultures and the gift of a little Argus camera when I was six yearsold perhaps all in preparation for the wonderful world of sponsorship of our International Officers and their families Lois will be presenting a Coffee Program on the CGSC graduate school and their international program Thursday March 14 entitled We are the World A Focus on Global Connections Pavilion doors open at 9 30 a m for coffee The program begins at 10 a m Come hear her story first hand
