Retro RFH Smiley Cheerleader Pile-up
“Push ’em back. Push ’em back … waaaayyyy back!” We’re not talking football with that. We’re talking the year of that kind of cheer and its leaders — the RFH cheerleaders of the early 1970s.

Those are not lined up bottles of Lowenbrau in this 1980s pic, yet RFH old timers can’t help but hear the classic jingle in their minds when seeing this. “Here’s to good friends. Tonight is kinda special …” Yes. TGIF.
