" I was on the staff and faculty from spring 1969 to June 1971 and was in the Military Pay and Entitlements Div as a branch chief and then div chief. The Finance School was the home of so many great/dedicated people of whom Kay was one of the best. A life dedicated to making the Army a better place by teaching
