Located in the heart of Chico High School is a dedicated bench located near a sand box. On the front of the bench reads:
IN MEMORY OF JOHN NICHOLS
I couldn't locate any information on Nichols other than there's a memorial scholarship in his name at Chico High School. There was a Christina Nichols who taught Special Education at this school for many years and was married to a 3rd-generation farmer, John Nichols, so it is possible that she dedicated this bench in her husband's memory.
