[The Parks - Flash 174]
Known Relatives: Linda (daughter), Wally West (son-in-law)
Base of Operations: Mobile
Occupations: Accountant/Investor, unknown
First Appearance: (cameo) Flash (second series) #87, February 1994; (named) Flash (second series) #140, August 1998


Very little is known about Linda’s parents, perhaps because they see their daughter so rarely. John is an accountant, and grew up on an Iowa farm that his mother still owns. He made a fortune investing in a company called Kord (as in the Blue Beetle) during the tech boom, and the couple now owns several properties around the world*.
