Simple Summer: Twirling into a Mini RFH Reunion

Mini high school reunion? Give it a whirl. It was more like a twirl for this gaggle of RFH girls from the Class of ’78.

These Rumson-raised hooligans became the best of buds at RFH when they entertained the masses at football games with a twirling show or 1,000. Yes, they were twirlers when RFH had those shows replete with fire-lit batons. Now, that’ll bond a bunch — juggling a little fire.

In keeping with that kind of light in life, twirl or not, a flame of long-kindled friendship was fanned nearly 50 years ago and it’s still going strong.

No twirling going on at this mini reunion, though. They figured they wouldn’t try that at home, as the laughing might cause a baton catastrophe.

Instead of reenacting, they decided to just remember and laugh — a lot. Some things never change. And that’s a good thing when it comes to nearly lifelong friendships.

Recognize them? In this mini reunion, we have Sue Hill, Lisa Mazurek, Kathy Salmon, Gigi Schafer, Linda Stevens and Carol Nagel. One or two of these girls may have twirled a rifle with the RFH Drill Team, too. Know which? Nonetheless, it’s still a twirl or 1,000 with a deep-rooted connection that hasn’t broken yet.

Cheers to the twirl into the future, girls!
