Bob Kelleher

Born in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1928, Bob Kelleher grew up during the depression years and served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. The first twenty years of his life he remembers as joblessness in his family; the supportive love of parents; poverty in the neighborhood; community bread lines and soup kitchens; Pearl Harbor; rationing; and a long war fought in distant places. Married for fifty-two years to Dorothy French Kelleher (1928 – 2000), Bob is the father of six, grandfather of eight, and great-grandfather of four. Following graduation from Syracuse University on the G. I. Bill of Rights, he attended night classes for over ten years at Wayne State University, University of Detroit, University of Southern California, and Santa Clara University, completing course requirements leading to graduate degrees. Bob taught at San Francisco State University and Fitchburg State College for sixteen years, and has been Adjunct Professor at Anna Maria College in Paxton, Massachusetts for over twenty years. He currently teaches graduate courses in Organizational Behavior, Business Policy And Strategy, and International Business. Research into the field of Organizational Behavior led to Bob writing “Winning The Game Of Life – The Ten Commandments In Today’s World,” a book in which these 3,500 year old “coachings,” taken together, are described as “a community mission statement to the world.
