J. Kingsley Fink

West Point, 1974

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Allen J. Light on October 17, 2001:

As a plebe (bean head) in C-1, Kingsley was one of the firsties in our company. I knew him very well, and grew to have great respect for him as a cadet, leader, and man. He had a ton of friends, and was very well liked by his clasmates. He also had the admiration from all of us in C-1. How can I describe the 'perfect' firstie? I guess Kingsley would fit the description. He was a firstie, no doubt about it, but he also was in tune with what we, as bean head's were undergoing. He often listened to some of us who had the need to talk to somebody. He always provided firm, yet genuine counsel. He helped me make it thru plebe year. I would not be a graduate today, were it not for Kingsley Fink. God Bless you, Kingsley, and your family.
