Foster Pettit could have lived the life of a Bluegrass snob, tracing his roots to before Henry Clay's day - but that wasn't who he was. Affectionate, bright and caring, Foster showed respect for fellow citizens of every class. He delayed building his law practice for reform politics--in the Legislature as a Democratic House member and in 1971, as the last mayor of the Lexington's old government, before merger, when it was riven by warring factions. In 1972, Foster led the effort to merge the city and county governments, and merger passed by a sweeping margin. Though a civic hero, he faced tough competition to become the first mayor of the new government. The 1973 general election night totals gave victory to the challenger by less than one vote per precinct - but the recount held a surprise... Finished days before his death in 2014, Foster's story paints a vivid picture of Lexington politics over 40 years ago, and reveals how many fundamental features of current-day Lexington truly hung in the balance in this closest election in the city's history.
