I will always remember cliff Nixon fondly. My brother Jimmy and I were apart of Cascade Striders in the 1970s. He was a caring and dedicated individual. The world was made better because he was in it. He will be missed by the many but always remembered. Jennifer Fisher

I can't believe it has been one year since you departed. Many times I stop and think about you and what you have taught me about coaching and people. This is a gift that has been giving freely to all the folks that you have touched. Many thanks. Briggs

Clifford, you are the coach that taught me how to coach. This started when it was little kids track with my kids and from there you asked to coach the "throws" at Bellevue HS. Then it was off to Interlake HS. There will never to another one of you,a kid magnate. We had a lot of good times.
Thanks for all the good years.
Dan or as you would say, Briggs
