Ken Cosgrove Quotes »

Ken revealed to Peggy that his hobby of writing had blossomed into a parallel career as a published writer of science fiction short stories. Roger, jealous of Ken’s success in light of his own failed book, gave Ken an ultimatum to stop writing or stop working at SCDP. Ken clandestinely kept to his secret pursuit while outwardly increasing his dedication to accounts services. He agreed not to impede Roger and Don’s conquest of his father-in-law’s company, Dow Chemical, but only if Pete Campbell was to be allowed nowhere near the account.
