Folks gathered on July 25th, 2015 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the opening of the downtown Berkeley Post Office. Local activist Moni Law emceed, BPOD members Mike Wilson and Dave Welsh spoke along with SBPO members Harvey Smith and Margot Smith spoke; union members Susan Hammer, Shirley Taylor and Omar Gonzalez said a few words each, and Berkeley City Council members Linda Maio and Max Anderson waxed politic.
Redd Welsh, Carol Denny and Mac & Bobby sang, while Mrs. T Bill Banks entertained with a comedy monologue.
The keynote was a talk by Peter Bryne, an investigative reporter who wrote
Going Postal: U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein’s husband sells post offices to his friends, cheap.
