Another Saturday night and he’s got his buddies. And some sunshine. That’s how the RFH ball, or prom, or just plain dressed-up night or day out rolled back in the 1970s.

This is a classic that’s been seen before, but warrants another look, considering the timing …
The RFH junior prom has happened — again. And the prom is all about dressing up, coupling up and dancing. Well, that’s most of what it’s all about, anyway.

Sometimes it’s just time to ride into the spring sun with the tide — down by the river, of course.
Now’s the time. When isn’t the time right, though? The bright light shows the way to the clarity of it all, though. The sun comes out, the water glistens and calls. The ride has begun. The ride into a tsunami of the simplest best of time-honored times at the Fair Haven Dock.
The dock may have changed over the years since Fair Haven’s existence, but the Navesink River it juts out to still plays the same part, ebbing and flowing with each ride down by its shores. Holding each ride with the times close. A piece of the dock etched indelibly.
The anchor is never lifted on the ride to river times. The moments stay. They will never leave. The sun is always there somewhere, casting its light on them. Always.
Take a look (click one photo to enlarge and scroll) and remember your time that stayed.

A reprise originally posted in June of 2019 just because … it’s prom time!
Well, Saturday was RFH Junior Prom time. We know that some prom traditions prevail. Others do not.

There’s nothing quite like a dapper boys’ line-up on junior prom night.
Saturday night was the night for the stylin’ cool freeze frame of that classic pre-prom moment for Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School (RFH) juniors. The moment? It was one taken at Rumson Country Club’s Riverhouse. In keeping with prom picture and celebratory precursors to the main event, different groups of friends, dates and even snap-happy, sentimental parents gather at different spots to be posers and get set to prom the night away.

There’s nothing quite like branching out to a budding riverfront perspective — down by the Navesink at the Fair Haven Dock, of course.
Yes, spring has sprung. The buds are budding. And when it comes to seeing the river for the trees, the view is always the most flattering panoramic close-up of sunshine on an old friend.
It always smiles back and reaches out to hold with a tight hug. The buds on the trees branch out pulling you in to a new season, new day down by the river.
Happy budding river time 2023! (CLICK on one of the photos in the above gallery to enlarge and scroll. Enjoy!)
