STANLEY C. KENNEDY, Corporation Executive. Stanley C. Kennedy, son of James A. 
Kennedy, who directed the destinies of the Inter-Island Steam Navigation Co. 
for almost a quarter of a century, entered the offices of that corporation at 
the completion of his college course. He is now secretary and operating 
manager of the company.
  Mr. Kennedy was graduated from Stanford University in 1912 with the degree 
of A.B. and returned to Honolulu. With the intervention of the World war in 
1917, he joined the Naval Aviation Service and was one of the few residents of 
Hawaii to see active service overseas. He received his pilot’s license and 
commission as an ensign in January, 1918, and for a short time was stationed 
at Pensacola, Florida and Washington, D.C., and in the summer of 1918 was sent 
overseas, where he served as first pilot of an H-16 flying boat, attached to 
the United States Naval Air Station, Killingholme, on duty in the North Sea.
  For his services during the war, Mr. Kennedy was honored with a silver star 
from the Navy Department, and a citation, signed by Josephus Daniels, then 
Secretary of the Navy, said, in part: “As an airship pilot attached to United 
States aeronautical forces abroad (North Sea) he rendered highly meritorious 
service.” In 1919 Mr. Kennedy was relieved from active duty, and resumed his 
work in Honolulu.
  Mr. Kennedy is a member of the University and Oahu Country clubs and is 
president of the Stanford Alumni Association of Hawaii. He was born in 
Honolulu, July 7, 1890, the son of James A. and Minnie C. Kennedy. His early 
education was received at Punahou and Oahu College. In 1919 he married Martha 
Davenport in Chattanooga, Tenn. They have one child, Stanley C. Kennedy, Jr.
