Sorry to NOW learn of Bill's passing! I knew the entire Conrad family and graduated with his sister Ann Marie in 1964. Lots of times we played ball in the field behind his home and he always told be to stay away from Ann, his sister and yes she was a cute-T. Those were wonderful days and Bill made them special for the memories. Thank YOU Bill and ALL the Conrads!
