Paul A. 'Colonel' Klette, 1986 Outstanding Kentuckian
Paul A. "Colonel" Klette, a former deputy jailer whose efforts to help hungry families in Eastern Kentucky gained statewide recognition, died Thursday at Rosedale Manor nursing home in Covington. He was 85.
Mr. Klette, of Independence, was named a Kentucky Colonel buy Gov. Ed Breathitt in 1966 and used the honorary title ever since. He was strong willed, compassionate and persistent, said his daughter, Aleathea Crozier of Cypress, Calif.
He quit school after the fourth grade, went to work and never stopped working. He was a handyman, he hung storm doors, he did carpentry. In the 1950s he became maintenance engineer for Rosedale Manor nursing home, where he worked for 22 years. He was active in the Democratic party and was named a special deputy for the Kenton County Jail in the 1960s.
He was a member of Nicholson Church of Christ.
Throughout his life, if he saw a problem, he worked to fix it. In 1972, as finance trustee for the Oak Ridge volunteer fire department in Taylor Mill, he spearheaded the successful drive to buy a new fire truck. He was a longtime board member of the Northern Kentucky Community Action Commission, and worked on the programs to help pay residents' heating bills. In 1984, when Col. Klette was almost 70, he saw a story in The Kentucky Post about poverty in Mud Creek in Eastern Kentucky. He and then Taylor Mill Police Chief David Wells launched a rescue effort that poured truckloads of food and clothing into that community for years. Col. Klette wrote letters, called companies, collected food and clothes and drove the truck through the mountain roads to distribute the help.
"He taught us all persistence," said his daughter. "If he wanted to get something done, he kept trying. If something didn't work one way, he'd find another way."
He received the Governor's Outstanding Kentuckian Award in 1986 from Gov. Martha Layne Collins, and the Carl D. Perkins Award for outstanding volunteer service in the area of human services from the federal government in 1984.
His wife, Christina Chapman Klette, died in 1987. His health started failing in 1995.

Patricia Dammert, chaired panel that restored Suspension Bridge
Patricia A. Dammert, former executive director of Senior Citizens of Northern Ke ntucky and one of the forces behind the restoration of the Roebling Suspension Bridge, died Thursday in Jacksonville, Fla., of an apparent heart attack. She was 67.
Mrs. Dammert and her husband, Donald, had moved to Ellenton, Fla., in 1991, after Donald Dammert retired. They had lived in Elsmere.
"She was a doer," said her son, Mike Dammert of Fort Mitchell. "She was Irish, with a bubbly personality. She was full of life."
When someone wanted something done, they called Mrs. Dammert, her son said.
"She was very particular and made sure of all the details," he said.
"She was not shy. If she wanted you to do something, she'd call you up and talk you into it and keep after you to make sure you did it," he said. "And she made you feel good about it."
Mrs. Dammert was past president of the Bettie Carter Morgan Women's Club of Erlanger, member of the Louisa Women's Club and state president of the Kentucky Federation of Women's Clubs from 1974 to 1976. The job took her across the state and she struck up friend ships with governors and senators.
She chaired the Bicentennial Bridge Committee, which worked to restore the Roebling Suspension Bridge. "The color blue is nautical blue - the closest they could come to the red, white and blue they were looking for," said Mike Dammert. The gold cupolas atop the bridge were part of the restoration that the committee led.
Mrs. Dammert enjoyed cooking for family and friends. She loved life and family and her children and grandchildren, said her son.
Other survivors include her husband; a daughter, Mindy Salierno of Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; a son, Charles E. Dammert of Fort Myers, Fla.; and two grandchildren.
Services will be at 2 p.m. Tuesday at Griffith-Cline Funeral Home, Mansion Chapel, Ellenton, Fla. Visitation will begin there at noon Tuesday. Burial will be in Mansion Memorial Park, Ellenton. A Northern Kentucky memorial service will be scheduled at Erlanger Christian Church next week. Friends can call the church at 606-727-2076 for details.
