Kenneth S. (Ken) Aronson, CPA (1951 – 2022) Ken Aronson, CPA, passed away on Thursday, March 17. He was licensed as a CPA in 1978, and in 1984 he started the firm of Aronson & Associates LLP in Brookfield. His daughter Kristin joined the firm as a partner in 2007 and became a CPA in 2010. Aronson is survived by his wife of 50 years, Sherry; two daughters; four grandchildren; a brother and two sisters; many nieces and nephews; and other family members and friends.
Richard L. (Dick) Pajula, CPA (1943 – 2022) Richard J. (Dick) Pajula, CPA, 78, passed away on Thursday, March 31. Pajula graduated from Holy High School in Hurley in 1961 and subsequently joined the Wisconsin Army National Guard, for which he utilized his expert snow-skiing skills as part of a ski disaster extraction team. During his service for the Guard, he attended Superior State University and earned his bachelor’s degree in accounting, and in 1967 he enrolled in Officer Candidate School and became a company commander. After moving to North Dakota that year with his new wife, Joan, he attended the University of North Dakota, earned a master’s degree in accounting and became a CPA. In 1969, the couple moved to Bloomington, Minnesota, and Pajula joined Arthur Andersen. He worked for the firm for 10 years before moving back to Wisconsin in 1979 and gaining employment with Jerome Foods/The Turkey Store, eventually becoming CFO and vice president of operations before retiring from the company when it was acquired by Hormel Foods and starting a sole proprietorship in 2001. Pajula is survived by his wife, Joan; two sons; four grandchildren; two brothers; and many other relatives and friends.
Tricia Knight, CPA (1955 – 2022) Tricia Knight, CPA, 66, a partner with Ritz Holman CPAs in Milwaukee, passed away on Sunday, Feb. 20. She was an active member of the WICPA as well as a member of the Indiana Institute of CPAs and the AICPA. She was a strong advocate for the CPA profession — especially for women in the profession — and an overall positive force for the Milwaukee community.
Knight graduated summa cum laude from St. Joseph’s College in Indiana and entered the nearly all-male field of accounting in the 1970s. The guidance of her mentor, Nate Holman, CPA, combined with her candor, dedication and integrity, allowed her to rise above the very low “glass ceiling” of those days, and she was made a firm partner in her 20s. She became the trusted confidant of thousands of Milwaukeeans and a leader in the profession, mentoring countless men and women on the ethical and professional responsibilities of her chosen field. Her activities with the WICPA included service on the WICPA board of directors and on the Finance, Federal Taxation, Tax Conference Planning, Board of Directors Nomination, and Excellence Awards Selection committees. She was an Excellence Award winner in her own right, having been named the Community Service Award recipient in 2008 and the Achievement Award recipient in 2011. She was also a recipient of the Holton Youth and Family Center Outstanding Support Award in 2000 and of the St. Joan Antida Deus Solus Award in 2018.
Dedicated to her adopted community of Milwaukee, Knight donated her time, talents and treasures to nonprofits serving the disenfranchised, including the Holton Youth and Family Center, St. Joan Antida High School and Wild Space Dance Company. She supported and mentored young professional women as a member of Professional Dimensions. She also served on the boards of the Charles Allis/Villa Terrace Art Museum and the Wisconsin Trust Account Foundation Inc. and as treasurer of Three Holy Women Catholic Parish. Knight is survived by her husband, Pat; two children; four grandchildren; and countless other family members and friends.

Accounting Career Awareness in the Classroom
Wisconsin high school accounting and business teachers were once again eligible this year to apply for an Accounting Career Awareness Grant from the WICPA Educational Foundation. The foundation awarded grants to 11 high school accounting and business teachers for classroom projects in 2022. The WICPA Educational Foundation congratulates these educators and thanks them for cultivating the accounting profession in their classrooms. The following are the grant recipients and their projects:
Sara Burling, Menomonee Falls High School, for purchasing updated Excel curriculum textbooks.
Stacey Gardiner, Iowa-Grant High School, for tours at Vortex Optics, Duluth Trading Co., K&A Greenhouse, Wegner CPAs, and Telephone and Data Systems Inc.
Samantha Goss, Fennimore High School, for tours at SVA Certified Public Accountants, Milwaukee Tool and UW-Milwaukee and for a Milwaukee Bucks accounting-themed night. “All our meetings with accounting professionals were extremely eyeopening for the students,” Goss wrote. “A deep thank you to the WICPA for supporting these trips. ”
Dave Haas, DeForest High School, for tours at the Fiserv Forum and American Family Field to learn how the businesses use accounting to enhance their respective organizations. “Seeing accounting in action opened the eyes of many students,” Haas wrote. “One of the highlights of my year was having a former student come up to me and tell me the reason he majored in accounting at UW-Madison is because of the WICPA-sponsored field trip we took in accounting class five years ago. Thank you for your support to make this happen again this year. ”
Dawn Jameson, Wausau West High School, for a tour of the Kalahari Resort to learn about its accounting department, a visit to Wipfli LLP and to purchase accounting textbooks for the school year. “Thanks to the generosity of the WICPA Educational Foundation, our students can travel to the Kalahari Resort and learn about what it takes to operate and stay in business during a pandemic,” Jameson said. “Students are hoping to make connections with real-life experiences so they can get an idea of all the different areas one could use with accounting degrees. Thank you again for everything!”
Amber Laska, Hortonville High School, to tour the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, meet the accountant for the Shedd Aquarium and speak to managers at Ikea on the way back. Lisa Leutenegger, Destinations Career Academy of Wisconsin, to meet Angela Thomas, CPA, — the WICPA’s board chair and state controller — and purchase various accounting simulation software. “With this grant, we were able to have Angela Thomas come to our virtual classroom and share her experiences from the accounting world. What a wealth of information and great advice she had for my students,” Leutenegger wrote. “I also purchased accounting simulation software to help students reinforce their basic skills. They are currently completing the accounting cycle for a sole proprietorship. ”
Alissa Mullikin, Wauzeka-Steuben High School, to meet accounting professionals at Festival Foods, UW-Madison and Exact Accounting & Financial Services. “Thank you so much for this grant,” Mullikin wrote. “It was wonderful! The kids walked away feeling confident in knowing more about accounting. Our accounting speakers were very educational, and the students were welcome to ask any questions they had. They were thankful for the chance to meet real-life accountants in their field. ”
Chad Roehl, Big Foot High School, for two teams to compete at Lakeland University’s Forensic Accounting Competition, opportunities to meet CPAs from Deloitte in Chicago, and tours to Epic Systems, SVA Certified Public Accountants and the UW-Madison School of Business. “Thank you to the WICPA for the opportunity to expand our curriculum outside of the walls of my classroom,” Roehl said. “Field trips are costly and extremely valuable to the students to learn and network with business professionals. Getting students out into the real world to experience an office setting energizes and excites our current students to recommend the courses to future students. Thanks again to the WICPA Educational Foundation for providing the financial ability to take these field trips. ”
Jennifer Schmitz, Beloit Memorial High School, for a tour of Fiserv Forum on a Milwaukee Bucks accounting-themed night.
Scott Tappa, Iola-Scandinavia High School, to compete in the Finance & Investment Challenge Bowl in Wisconsin Rapids, tours at KerberRose and UW-Oshkosh, and to attend the Milwaukee Bucks accounting-themed night.
