Scene Around: RFHers Reuniting After 45 Years

Reunited and it feels so good. Sure does.

It also feels like it was only a few years ago that RFH classmates of a long-gone era graduated. OK, so the Peaches and Herb song Reunited was a ’78 song and we’re talking about the RFH Class of 1981. Close enough.

And the sentiment is definitely the same with a bit of a twist on the love angle. It does feel mighty good to reunite with classmates and still feel the same vibe, like graduation was yesterday and the walk was a very easy one — 45 years later.

Yes, the RFH Class of ’81 walked their own new walk on Saturday night following their alma mater’s graduation on Friday.
