Kenneth W. Rendell
Kenneth W. Rendell, born in Boston, May 12, 1943, is the founder of the Museum of World War II in Boston, and an American dealer and expert in historical documents. His father, Harry, was a pharmacist, and his mother, Pauline, an art teacher. His first marriage (1967) to Diana Angelo ended in divorce (1985). Their first son, Jeffrey, was born in 1971; their second, Jason, was born in 1982 (deceased 2000). He married journalist Shirley McNerney in 1985; their daughter Julia Louise was born in 1994.〔''Who's Who in America, 1996.〕
==Early life==
In 1953 a customer in his father’s drug store paid with an 1806 Liberty half-dollar, and this launched Rendell into the rare coin business. The ''Somerville Journal'' recounted how he sold the coin for $3.50, used the money to begin his business, and later bought the coin back for $4.50. “The Liberty piece now sits in a position of honor in his office and 'showroom' on the back porch of his parent’s house.”〔''Somerville Journal'', May 26, 1955.〕
Rendell later elaborated on his early success. “In those days you could get an old penny and sell it for 10 cents; you could actually make money doing that. Then I got much more sophisticated—I got the guy who did the gumball machines at the drugstore to sell me all the coins. Now we started to get this thing organized! I could sort through large quantities. I was 12.”〔''Town & Country'', January 2000.〕 He soon branched out into the area of American colonial coinage and political memorabilia, and later wrote several reference works in this field.
