Kenneth W. Olson

West Point, 1948

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by John A. Edwards on May 15, 2011:

I had the honor of being Ken's roommate during cow year. He was everything that you would expect of a classmate: True blue, loyal to the Corps, a friend for life, sincere, and an example that you would respect and be proud of. He loved baseball (he was catcher for the Corps Squad team). He was technically very proficient. He went on to excel as an officer, rising to the grade of full colonel in the Signal Corps. I respected him then and his memory now. Rest In Peace, Ken.
