Yriberri Field Dedication
Submitted by Brian Depolo

Miramonte friends and alumni are invited to attend the dedication of the athletic field in Paul Yriberri's memory prior to the Homecoming game on Friday, October 10, at 6:30 p.m. Yriberri influenced the lives of many people. He grew up in Orinda and graduated from Miramonte, where he lettered in baseball, football and wrestling. After college and the army he returned to Miramonte, where he taught for 33 years until his untimely death in March 2007. He was a successful football coach, helping to win numerous league and NCS championships. He was a great science teacher, connecting at a personal level with thousands of students and mentoring numerous Miramonte teachers. But most important to him was his 35-year marriage to his wife, Jane, and his loving relationships with his two children, Renee and John. He was an inspiration to his players in practice during the week and on the sidelines on game day. As in the classroom, he taught that hard work pays off on the field. He made practices fun, kept all players interested, and found ways to help the second and third string players as much as the first string.
