Reprise from Aug. 23, 2022, because we’re having a July heat wave …
There’s nothing quite like sitting on the dock of the … river in Rumson. Though this was never seen as wasting time. Savoring it was more like it. Still is.

No one was crabby about it, just fishing for some music. Call it a simple summer note of musical appreciation and RFH connection. An RFH Performing Arts Society mom took center dock to play to her own tune of musical talent with the Band of the Two Rivers on Wednesday.
Back in the day, Rumson summers weren’t all about going to the beach club from dawn ’til dusk.
For some, it was as simple skipping the packing up of the family, not to mention the cost, and just laying a blanket out on the lawn and catching some rays while the kids played.

There’s nothing quite like river time in the summertime, especially if you’re a Rumson kid with a boat and a best life to bait.
Ahoy! Ship Ahoy, to locals beaching it back in the summer of ’63, that is.
Yes, it’s a locals’ summertime. Always has been. And the locals’ summer spots have always been a place of respite from the out-of-towner beach crowd in the Rumson-Fair Haven area. They call them beach clubs.
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.
Fair Haven’s annual borough-wide campout may no longer be a summertime easy, sticky living event, but a first is always a warm memory. This one, back in 2013, was that first.
