Keith Conning: Bill was a fine man. He delivered the mail in Berkeley for many years. He flew the United Nations flag in front of his home. His children went to King Junior High School and Berkeley High School. Grace Trampleasure did baby sitting for us at 2235 Browning Street in Berkeley. Lee Trampleasure ran on my Tahoe Relays team and was a teacher at Berkeley High School. Calvin was a professional cyclist.
