"I came back in 1965 and my life was in shambles because of what I saw." Kathryn Stevens reminisces about her time in Vietnam

A tribute and honor was bestowed upon Kathryn "Kaye" Stevens recognizing her for the work she did in Vietnam with celebrity Bob Hope.

Kathryn was presented a Doctor of Humane Letters from Brewer Christian College and Graduate Schools in honor of her unselfish work. Kathryn used her God given ability to sing and comedic precense to bring entertainment to the troops to help ease some of the intense strain and incredible pain and loneliness of the soldiers serving on the field.

It is truly a blessing for our school to be able to acknowledge Kathryn for her bravery in serving our country at such a critical and most confusing time of history.

Thank you once again Kathryn!
Meet the Honoree:

Kathryn got her big break in classic show business form. Working in the lounge of the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas, she got word that headliner Debbie Reynolds was ill and a replacement was needed. She was asked if she could fill in. Could she! From there she went to packing in audiences in New York, Miami and Los Angeles, and Kathryn Louise Stephens became the star: “Kaye Stevens”.

Kathryn "Kaye" Stevens

Her career has remained constant since, finding her on tour with "The Rat Pack," Johnny Carson or Bob Hope, starring in such Broadway shows as Mame, Follies, Unsinkable Molly Brown, Sweet Thursday, Where’s Charlie, Destry Rides Again, Annie Get Your Gun, Little Me, Applause, Nunsense and Gypsy. Appearing on TV variety shows and specials, game shows, drama and talk shows.

She became known to millions of daytime television fans as Jeri Clayton on NBC’s Emmy award winning daytime drama ‘Days Of Our Lives.” In that role, Kaye had the opportunity to be the first to introduce a new song to the TV audience ”You Light Up My Life.” Viewers responded immediately, feeling the inspiration of the lyrics. “I knew then that if I got the kind of response from one song, I had to do an album of inspirational, motivational, spiritual-pop music,” Kaye prophesied. It would be years before her dream became reality.

On July 7, 1994, Neva Penner, programmer for Dr. Robert Schuller's "Hour of Power" television ministries, called from her offices at the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, California and asked Kathryn to appear on the show to be taped October 16, 1994.

On that date, singing for over 30 million viewers, Kathryn's prayers for a world-wide Christian music ministry had been answered!

Kathryn continues to bless churches, groups and organizations with her ministry in song and the spoken word- because Kathryn sings solely for the Lord- and radiates the joy, and the love she's found in Him.
