Check out new information in the Berkeley Historical Facts Tab...

Thanks to Deann Deimeke, who sent me a 1957 20Th Berkeley Anniversary Edition of the Public News, this clipping gives incite about the men who were responsible for the founding of the City of Berkeley.
 I remember it well as many later meetings took place in my home which served as the Police Station since my Father was the first Chief of Police. It also served as Police Court until a City Hall was available. If jail facilities were needed, the offender was hauled to Clayton for incarceration. The "Sandy Pig"  tavern in Ramona Park furnished quite a few Friday night inebriated individuals that required an overnight visit to "The Tank" in Clayton to sober up!
