Ever wonder why some
people have what it takes to
get ahead in spite of what
seem to be insurmountable
odds?
Marion Kennedy of
Phoenix, Arizona, is such a
man. Employed as a crane
operator, he was plagued by
arthritis, a condition which
normally would have forced
him to leave his job and go on
the welfare rolls. Being a
negro, with only 4 years of
formal schooling, Kennedy
was doubly handicapped. To
gether, these suggested a not
bright future for a proud man
with five dependents.
With his wife’s encourage
ment, Kennedy took their
small savings and enrolled in
a course in Radio & TV Serv
icing from International Cor
respondence School, Scran
ton, Pennsylvania. He
studied about five hours a
night for eighteen months
and completed the course.
Kennedy’s initial investment
for the course and equipment
was $66C
While still studying, he re
paired a TV set for a neigh

price was right. Then an
other. Soon word got around
and work poured in. By then,
he was no longer able to oper
ate a crane and began .servic
ing TVs full time.
Halfway thiough his
studies, Kennedy had to hire
an assistant. By the time he
completed the course, he was

employing four helpers i and
farming out ten jobs a week.
“I was netting $800 per
month before I even com
pleted my course,” Kennedy
noted.
After he received his TC.S.
diploma, at the age of 50,
Kennedy’s annual income
went up to S17,000. Through
it all, he never advertised. His
services were so in demand
that people sought him out,
even to the point where he
had to disconnect his busi
ness phone.
Today, Kennedy gives a
great deal of the credit for
his success to his I.C.S.
course. But the man who sold
it to him, I.C.S. Representa
tive Bob Pollock, said in a re-
1968-69 FOOTBALL TEAM
cent interview that, “Men
like Kennedy become suc
cessful with or without I.C.S.
Like any educational institu
tion, we can only give a stu
dent the tools to shape his
own future... we can give
guidance But self-determ
ination puts the tools to
work. And Kennedy has this.”
Today, Kennedy is semi
retired. He has two helpers,
but he only works when he
wants to and no longer makes
house calls. He and his wife
live comfortably in Phoenix.
