“We then traded” - apologies for the typos.
My first time meeting Conrad was in 2000, when he helped stage manage Radio K’s Hip Hop for the Homeless in the First Ave Mainroom. We the. traded stories, laughs, and smiles together at a bowling charity event to fight cancer in 2018.

What a life, what a legend. May he rest easy and eternally.
RIP CONRAD. a true first ave legend
More blessings and all continued spiritual growth and awakening to you family! Grateful for you, always!
