Bio by iPoet:
I often see this man sitting on upper Shattuck Ave in North Berkeley, outside the post office across from Andronico's Market or across street near the Bank of America branch, the French Hotel, or the Cheeseboard. His name is Kenneth McCoy. He is quiet, dignified, peaceful, calm, polite, and attentive, but you can tell that he suffers much. He always has a hand lettered cardboard sign that says, "Please Help. Recovering from Colon Cancer. Any Donation Would Help. Thank you."
One day I had a video camera on me, and I asked him if I could record him talking about himself. I told him I would try and put it online. He considered it and said yes that would be ok. That is the video you see here. He is hopeful that people will see what I post online and maybe send him something. I am sure he would appreciate anything, just like his sign says.
