Conrad Kennedy Cameron was born Oct. 28, 1926, to Sam and Rowena (Steklenburg) Cameron, in Sioux City. He was a graduate of Sergeant Bluff-Luton Schools.

Conrad and Bonnie Certain were married in Sergeant Bluff on Aug. 15, 1948. The couple were married 58 years before Bonnie's passing in 2006.
After being released from the Navy, Conrad attended the University of Northern Iowa and then earned his bachelor's degree from Morningside College in 1951. He received his master's degree from the University of South Dakota in 1961. Conrad served 37 years as a teacher, coach and building administrator. He began his education career as a high school teacher and coach at Little Rock and Akron, Iowa. He began his employment in the Sioux City Community School District in 1957.

In 1979, he returned to East Junior High School as the principal and retired as building administrator of East Middle School in 1989.
Con's hobbies included fishing, spending time at the lake home in Yankton, S.D., and traveling with Bonnie. Spending time with his family and especially his grandchildren, gave him great pleasure.
