In contrast to Adam, Bill Kennedy is pure Chicago.  He was raised in Rogers Park, and currently resides in Deerfield with his wife of fifty-two years.  After graduating from law school, Bill went to work in advertising with his father.  Describing this as a "character building" experience, Bill shared that Mad Men was so true to life that it was difficult at times to watch.  He has lots of stories from that era;  ask him about the man with the glass eyeball(s).   

 

Bill left the advertising field when he joined Molon Motors, and he has been there ever since.  His original partner at Molon worked with a company that made specialty cars and limousines for heads of state.  Today, Molon is a privately held manufacturer of custom designed fractional horsepower motors and gearmotors.   Bill met Bob Paddock, when Molon bought the site of its current headquarters from the Daily Herald.  He credits Bob for introducing him to Rotary.
