Dorothy Andrews Elston Kabis - Name Change

Name Change

Following her appointment as Treasurer by U.S. President Richard M. Nixon as Dorothy Andrews Elston, she married Walter L. Kabis (1914-2009), a WWII Pacific Navy veteran on the USS England (DE-635) and a school principal from Wilmington, Delaware in 1970 and changed her name to Dorothy Andrews Elston Kabis. She became the first (and so far only) treasurer to have their name changed while in office, an event significant because the signature of the Treasurer of the United States appears on U.S. paper currency.

The resulting change in Kabis' signature appeared first on the Series 1969A one-dollar bill.

Famous quotes containing the word change:

    Jealousy is bred in doubts. When those doubts change into certainties, then the passion either ceases or turns absolute madness.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    There are ... two minimum conditions necessary and sufficient for the existence of a legal system. On the one hand those rules of behavior which are valid according to the system’s ultimate criteria of validity must be generally obeyed, and on the other hand, its rules of recognition specifying the criteria of legal validity and its rules of change and adjudication must be effectively accepted as common public standards of official behavior by its officials.
    —H.L.A. (Herbert Lionel Adolphus)
