Hi. I went to Menlo Atherton High school. I left there in 1976 I remember when in snowed there in my senior year there. Also Ben Parks would run 1 mile per year of his age when I went there. I remeber he ran 42 miles around the school track at that time. I sure would like to say hello to him again after all these yrs. Please give him my email if you may. Its towle252@comcast.net Thank you very much and may God bless.

Coach parks was one of the most honest & best men I have ever known. My son Colin had the chance to coach at M.A. when they won their CCS football title. Coach Parks was at every game. He was an inspiration to all the players & coaching staff. My son & I learned a great deal from Coach. He will be missed.
