studying chemistry and the natural sciences at Cornell University, and then finishing his degree at SUNY Cortland in 1962.
During the same period of time he was Elementary School Science Supervisor in the Cortland, N.Y. City School District where he was engaged in a pioneer ETV
project (1958-1962). He was a teacher of Elementary Science, via television, to students in grades two through six in ninety classrooms. This was the first
ETV program of its kind in the state of New York.
In 1962 he was granted an assistantship at Indiana University, where he studied behavior science, audio visual communications, and film production.
In 1963 he was hired as Director of the Training Communications Department at Cummins Engine Company headquartered in Columbus, Indiana.
In 1967 he and his wife Mildred J. Hennessy, founded the David E. Hennessy Company, a Training Consulting Firm. Their work with the Petroleum Industry took
them to the far corners of the world, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Indonesia, Singapore, and Nigeria.
They retired in 1995. In retirement David and Mildred founded the Brown County, Indiana Citizens’ Scholarships Organization. Its mission is to raise funds
to provide financial assistance to local high school senior students of middle class families, and non –traditional students, namely resident adults who
desire to attend college to better their lives.
