Focus: An RFH PAS Final Bow
It was no performance.
When Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School Performing Arts (PAS) seniors got together for a banquet recently, it was more like a very real final bow to one another for a bittersweet goodbye flush with impromptu performance and love of the arts and one another.

“Where’s your father?” my Fair Haven neighbor shouted to me from across the street some years ago a bit before Memorial Day.
“Uh, whaaat??” I answered with a chuckle. “Um, he’s in the cemetery?”
“Which one?” he asked.
A bit befuddled and more focused on taking the garbage out than my long-deceased dad’s whereabouts, I shook my head and laughed as he continued with “We can’t find him.”

They’re in the fight to win it — the fight against pediatric cancer.
And one step toward that win is fundraising for various components of the effort. One organization that does such work with care, support, survivorship and research funding is Tackle Kids Cancer at K. Hovnanian Children’s Hospital.
To aid in a celebration of this organization’s efforts in fighting the kids’ cancer fight, Jamie Caulfield, a Rumson resident and trustee on the Jersey Shore University Medical Center Foundation board, recently held an event at her home to highlight the group’s accomplishments.
“Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation thanks Jamie for her hospitality and for helping us spread the word about the critical work being done to fight pediatric cancer at Hackensack Meridian Children’s Health,” a released statement from Hackensack said.

Who says you can’t go home again?
Oh, it’s been said, but clearly not by anyone who ever knew the RFH grad and famed raging skillet full of chef, author, playwright and punk rock queen of the Jews known as Rossi. Yes, that’s a mouthful of matzo ball soup with a little “L’Chaim!” on the side.

It has been said that to honor someone best who has passed is to craft a remembrance of them as they lived — in all their color, vibrance and black-and-white finite detail. A sketch, a painting, a doodle expressing the intricate beauty within a soul.
