I was sorry to hear of Mr. Parks passing. I believe he is the same Mr. Parks that used to live across the road from my family growing up in E. Lansing, we were the Phelps family. My mom and dad built a new home on Coleman Rd. back in the 50's. My mother passed away in Dec.of 2011, my father died in April of 2008. My brothers and I have been speaking a lot of the old days when we were kids, and we were just speaking of your parents last week. Again, sorry for your loss.
