Lot's of Good Things Happening!!

Above is another RHS classic - James Saporito! What a class!

Well since we wrote about the championship and just since the mini reunion at The Fireplace John Wescott is fired up and searching high & low for long-lost coaches and students from our class! The man does not quit! Tom Nepola also has a few classics in his phone book! Just since April 18 - he has put several in touch with Dan Bradley & Willie McKee! Others include Coach Sweeney (yes Coach Sweeney!!). John has also located Dave Vanderbush, Reamer, Cobb and may get a line on LeBlanc. Patty Van Lenten has also been found - kissy face Patty! Sharon Muster where are you!?

"I can get you in a 4-door with ac, 8-track and fine leather seats for no money down!" Rusty is the man! Prom time at RHS May, 1973!

Our goal is getting bigger! Hey we might even be able to get Wolfstirn to wear a kilt to the 40th!

But don't forget the lead-in to the big RHS 40th is the BF reunion which we are planning! How cool would that be in the old gym - hey Mr. Yennie I'm not running laps around the BF field!!!!

We'll be posting classic names all the time - if anyone knows where people like Tim Stitzer and Bob Whitehead are - and so many others - let us know! Yes there isn't anyone we don't remember!

Just Getting Started! Fireplace Mini Reunion!

Well, Sunday April 18 some classic guys got together. First at The Fireplace for lunch then later for dinner at Smith Brothers! Other mini reunions are planned too! We were a class of 658 but we are a tight bunch and getting tighter! Despite us all being different we all have the great bond of Ridgewood, NJ and RHS!

Calls were made to Dan Bradley & Willie McKee while at The Fireplace and the guys had a blast! Messages were left with Hopewell and Molyneaux too! C'mon you guys this reunion is irresistible!

Above at The Fireplace Sunday April 18 l to r: Assistant Coach Fern Gomez, Arne Olsen, Jim Ranton, Jack Wolfstirn and John Wescott.

Come to The Fireplace on Sunday April 18!

I know this should have been posted a couple of weeks ago but some of us are meeting up at The Fireplace for lunch then dinner at Smith Brothers! 12:30 Sunday April 18!

Thanks to John Wescott's relentless digging he has recently located Paul Attella, Paul Vinroot, Jim Ranton, Arne Olsen and Tom Nepola! Jim and Arne will be at the Fireplace and Tom is supposed to stop by on his way home from the airport!

Hey everybody - Class of 1973 40th reunion is gonna be a blowout! If John keeps this up we're gonna find a lot of people who have been out of the loop!
