Ex Big Ten official defies retirement in Gulf Coast
William R. Schram, 76, Venice resident and longtime Gulf Coast Officials Association clock and scoreboard operator, began in 1961 at Venice High and never missed a year. He officiated basketball and football, umpired baseball, and recalls games from 1962 to 1975. He plans annual northward trips with wife Bernice, marks 52nd wedding anniversary in February, and is highly regarded by officials and coaches alike.
