  1. An RFH Halloween ghostly gaggle of the 1970s

    A reprise from 2017, just because … BOO! 

    Scary season has set in … in more ways than one.

    People in the Rumson-Fair Haven area have been haunting up their homes, crafting costumes and getting into the spirit. So, why not add a little extra retro spooking from RFH students of the past?

    BOO who or what? It was all in the haunt for RFHers back in the 1970s. They started getting the Halloween party going early on and ended up with a pretty festive feast of ghouls on the grounds of the high school and, yes, beyond.

    Retro RFH Ghostly Ghouling Around

  2. The following opinion piece on Halloween through the generations in Fair Haven was originally published in 2015. It is reprised annually … 

    The Fair Haven Halloween Parade passed by last weekend. Missed it! But, as always, this senior-aged (OUCH) kid from Fair Haven has some parading memories on which to reflect. Remember this scene?

    It’s a longstanding tradition — the Fair Haven Halloween Parade.

    I remember it well — from my first parade trek back in the late 1960s to the ’70s, 80s, 90s and now.

    It all started at age 7 with a wish to be Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. I’ve noticed a few in more recent years and the green-eyed jealousy monster of a near senior has reared its head. But I digress … That little dress-up fantasy of the 60s of mine was foiled when my mother couldn’t get the gingham outfit together, my pigtails were not so poised for the silver screen look and my sister refused to crawl down Hance Road as Toto.

    I guess it was bad enough that from the age of 3, she was forced by this pint-sized dominatrix 5-year-old Dorothy to crawl on a makeshift Funk and Wagnall’s encyclopedia Yellow Brick Road to Oz in the living room. The neighbors never quite got over it, either.
