Retro RFH Class of ’73 Reuniting & 50th Rev-Up

It’s summertime and the RFH reunions are revving up with a big “Cheers to the class!” — whichever it may be.

In fact, the RFH Class of ‘73 is celebrating half a century since graduation with its 50th reunion on the same night that the Class of ’78 is having its 45th — Aug. 26.

Retro RFH Reunion Hoopla

Well, the time has come for yet another RFH class to have its 40th reunion. That would be the RFH Class of ’82.

The RFH Class of ’78 is headed toward its 45th. The 40th is a biggie. But there’s always that first, too. The 10th reunion.

For the Class of ’78, that was in 1988. So, to the Class of ’82 from the Class of ’78, I think I speak for all of us reunion professionals when I say “Cheers to reuniting!”

We’ll let you know on Monday what antics transpired at the ’82 reunion. In the meantime, take another look back at the RFH Class of ’78’s first at the Molly Pitcher Inn in August of ’88.

This table was up and away with a little purple balloon, it appears. These reuniting folks are still friends!

Retro Four Happy RFH Campers & a Tradition

When the spring air hits, a fever spikes to pack it in and get away by going back in time with old buddies.

The RFH Class of ’78 guys in this crew have been friends forever. Decades ago, they started their own little inner circle tradition of taking an annual camping trip to keep their ties binding over the years. Unbreakable is what the bond has remained.

The group has been somewhat altered over the years and one is now gone, but they keep the getaway reunion going — except, perhaps, in the pandemic year.

The guys: Tom Campbell, now gone, George Day, RFH yearbook photographer, Tom Hollyer and Mike Grady.

There’s a hitch and a wagon, so a pop-up trailer and/or tent can’t be far away. And, you know, in the 1970s, where there was a wagon and a hitch, there was a way — to hit the trail.

George is the photographer of the bunch, so we’re not sure who snapped this shot, but George sent it to R-FH Retro. Then again, timers on cameras was a fun new gadget to play with back then. So …

One thing’s for sure: Where there’s an RFHer tradition, there’s a good time and a lifetime bond. What exactly do you think these guys were up to in the woods on their first trip? This one?

Cutoffs were in back then. Now, who has the best legs? Bug spray, anyone? What kind of wagon was this and what do you think was in it for the gala trip?

Thanks to George Day for, yet again, another classic!

As RFH reunions go, there are always milestone reunion years, just like with wedding anniversaries. And RFHers tend to make those banner years quite festive. A good party is something for which RFHers are famed, after all. After the 10th, the next biggie is usually the 25th, not that there aren’t many in between. Can’t keep RFHers apart for more than five years.
