The following memorial was posted online with the April 23, 2014, issue.

Kenneth Coulter died July 8, 1996.

Ken was born Sept. 30, 1927, in Mineola, N.Y. He attended Great Neck (N.Y.) High School on Long Island and served in the Army Corps of Engineers in the Philippines from February 1946 to April 1947 as a technician fifth class.

Ken came to Princeton, following his relatives Eugene C. Coulter 1885, Eliot B. Coulter 1914, and Albert S. Bonner 1914. He majored in history and was secretary of the Liberal Union. On campus he roomed at 61 Little Hall and 18 Hamilton Hall. Our late classmate William Spink was a roommate. Ken then lost touch with the Class.

In 1959 he was with the National Security Agency, Department of Defense, in Washington. In 1969 he was in Seattle, in 1989 he was in Moxee City, Wash., and he appears to have spent the rest of his life in Yakima, Wash. Sadly, we know nothing of his later years and have no information about his next-of-kin or loved ones. We regret this, and would extend our best wishes to them if we could.
