Author Lisa Napoli will discuss her book Ray & Joan: The Man Who Made the McDonald's Fortune and the Woman Who Gave It All Away, which details the true stories of Ray Kroc who was responsible for building up the McDonalds business during the 1950s and his wife, Joan Kroc, who is considered to be one of the greatest philanthropists of our time, giving away billions to landmark organizations and causes.
