7166 Kennedy[1] is an asteroid which was discovered by Edward L. G. Bowell at the Anderson Mesa Station of the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, on 10 October 1985. Initially designated 1985 TR, it was named on 8 August 1998 in memory of Malcolm Kennedy (1944-1997), Secretary of the Astronomical Society of Glasgow [2], who died in a road accident in Hungary, 18 November 1997, on a mercy mission carrying aid to eastern Europe. Born and raised in New Zealand, Kennedy became a civil engineer in Scotland. He was an energetic member of the Free Church in Cumbernauld, near Glasgow. As secretary of the ASG, he ensured that meetings ran smoothly, enlivening them with wordplay and puns.
