I remember meeting Coach Conley in September 1974 as my P.E. teacher.  He was one of my favorite teachers at Burney High School.  Coach Conley and I had a game among ourselves when it came to snowing.  He will point out to a snowflake and tell me to catch it.  I would respond to saying is this the one?  He would say no, that one!  I would go and catch another one and say is this the one?  May God bless him and his wife and family!

I just belatedly learned of Ron's passing and I was very, very sorry to hear of it.  While Ron and I didn't keep up over the years, we were very good friends at Chico State.  I have great memories of our times together back in the day, great guy.  Rest in Peace my friend.

I  lived with Ron at Chico State in the early 60's and we have kept in contact all these years.  We had many stories to tell and laugh with each other.  We both loved sports and loved telling about our children and grandchildren's accomplishments.  I am sure going to miss him and keep Coaching in Heaven.
