Kay Mull began bowling while serving as a Lieutenant
then Captain in the United States Air Force; stationed in Germany at the time,
Kay was termed the best woman bowler in Europe, was a member of the 1955 USAFE

and all-events champ and singles runner-up. She was also the
outstanding bowler in the Germany-Austria tournament winning singles
with a 602, doubles with a 1050 and all events with a 1683.
In 1956 Kay moved to Washington, D.C. resigning her commission and
taking a civilian job. In June 1961, Kay set a new National Record
