An atlas.
It’s one of Cheri Foti’s most prized possessions a visual memory of a career dedicated to serving her country and others across the globe.
“I’ve highlighted each of the countries and continents I’ve been to,” Foti says. “I’ve been to over 21 countries and four continents North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.”
“That’s not bad for a little Jamestown girl who was afraid to leave home,” she laughed.
Foti is a nurse by trade and a retired lieutenant colonel in the United States Air Force. One of the highest-ranking female officers in Chautauqua County, she mortgaged a desire to serve humanity into a 19-year career that took her across the country and throughout the world.
