Kathy Denkler Scholarship Fund

Family and friends have established a scholarship fund in the memory of Kathy Denkler. The fund will cover the tuition at the National Flight Academy, NAS Pensacola, for one or two local students annually.
Mike Dinkler discusses the fund and the goal to raise $50,000 by March 27 (Kathy’s birthday).

Kathy was an alumnus of North Carolina State University, Class of 1980, and received her commission via the USAF Reserve Officer Training Corps Program.As an Intelligence and Space Operations Officer, she was stationed at Bergstrom AFB (TX), Osan Air Base (Korea), Langley AFB (VA), Buckley Space Force  Base (CO), and U.S. Atlantic Command (VA).

Following Kathy’s military retirement, she was the elegant “First Lady of NAS Pensacola,” as the wife of the Commanding Officer. Her dynamic personality and energy made her a very special ambassador in the Pensacola Community.

Kathy’s commitment to the Nation and community was also highlighted by her positions with The Boeing Company (Missile Defense Sector), Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training (NAS Pensacola), National Flight Academy, and the University of West Florida.

Contributions are fully tax deductible. Checks should made payable to Naval Aviation Museum Foundation with Kathy Denkler Fund in the memo or remarks.
