Our annual Thanksgiving tribute to the kids’ table … Remember that? Happy Thanksgiving, all! Stay safe. Stay healthy. Enjoy!
It’s Thanksgiving, and, yes, it’s all about giving thanks.
So, the Retro Pic of the Day is an ode to just that.
It’s a snapshot back in time to the 1960s with a sibling duo from Fair Haven — Ben and Kate Hamilton. Ben passed away and Kate had posted this picture on Facebook giving thanks for him. RIP, Ben.
The photo brings back memories of the era the kids’ holiday table. Remember that one?

Two days before, everyone was headed home from college for the big homecoming reunion, dance and, of course reunited partying at Ichabod’s (now Woody’s, owned by RFHer Chris Wood).

Yes, they got carried away. And why not? There was and is always something to get carried away over at RFH.
This time it’s all about those RFH Bulldogs and cheer for a winning football season! With a now 12-0 record and a final semi-finals win against Point Friday night, the Dawgs are headed to the state finals in December.
And no one lifts the Dawgs on the field more than the cheer squad — however it turns up — and away with kooky enthusiasm.
