HE WAS MAKING WAVES

Family of the late Joseph Charles, known as Berkeley’s famous Waving Man, from right, Charles Kimball, great-grandson, Antoinette Ratliff, great-granddaughter, Quinn Benson-Yates, a neighbor to Charles, and Tino Ratliff, in-law of the family, gather with community members and city officials to wave at commuters on Thursday in Berkeley. On Joseph Charles’ birthday, the City of Berkeley rededicated the tennis courts named after Charles with a new sign bearing his name.
