1987 PRP Reunion - Mr. Kok and me

Mr. Kok was my PE & Health teacher at PRP in its first year of operation (1958-59). On several occasions Mr. Kok spent extra time with me to share some valuable tips about basketball and life. I strived to follow the advice from a man nearly seven feet tall that was given to me as a young teen - the shortest in my grade. Mr. Kok was a great teacher, leader and representative for PRP HS. Thanks for caring Mr. Kok we will not forget you.
My sincere sympathy to Mr. Kok's family.
