Thanks for the Memories!! Let's do it again!

This whole elementary blog idea started in 2000 when a few RHS classmates' emails spread like wildfire. This blog consists mostly of conversations regarding our 40th reunion and, of course, memories from our elementary days. As we approach our 45th reunion, please share your comments, memories and wishes on our RHS Class of '70 Facebook page. Let's start with...
Are you interested in reuniting with your elementary classmates again in 2015?



So... how do I blog????

Please add a comment to any of these conversations! Look over our selection of blogs in the right menu, including those within past months.

Type your name; you may leave the url blank. You may choose to be anonymous or include your name within the text as well. Select "Preview" if you would like to see what your comment will look like before it is published. You may choose to delete a message after it is published but it will leave a message stating "comment removed by blogger". Come on...You know you want to join us!

    Re: curled hair in class picture, Peggy says...my mother couldn't help herself but to curl my hair so I looked goofy for all my class pictures? In 4th grade with Miss Robinson I didn't tell her about picture day so my hair could be straight, and she was so mad she didn't buy them and I guess that's why I wasn't included in the class picture. I wonder if there was a way I could get that picture. I remember that I really liked it. I know it sounds silly, but the curling the hair thing has always bugged me.

    I don’t ever remember you in curls. Probably would have looked OK though. Sounds like you may have become a victim of a mother who had all boys except for her one little girl. Who knows, maybe they kept having kids just so that they could have you? That was the case in the Bowe family. They kept trying for a girl. On their fifth try they finally made it. Bob Elgin

    Good grief !! I go to Aruba for a week, and come back to over a hundred+ comments made by Willard people. Great to hear from Stan and John. I keep thinking about those squish berries at St. Elizabeth's Church, Mr. Brown, and that lovely afternoon in Sam Dodd's basement Mr. Millar. Somehow "birdwatching" didn't seem to be the topic at the time. Peggy Figlar

    Oh yeah. I thought you had been awfully quiet lately. I forgot abour your vacation. Maybe you passed Rick Bowe in transit. He is now in Belize with his wife.

    Peggy recalls: Do any of you remember playing Blind Man's Bluff on that roof by the chain link fence behind Willard School ? How about getting your bicycle inspected every year down by the cement wall (I used it for tennis)? Was Ridgewood the only town that did that? Did anybody ever walk Devil's Path down by Cole's Pond? When we could all go down into the woods and our parents wouldn't have to worry about us? We used to ice skate at Huffman's and Ellis's ponds? I think it's good to reminisce, it makes us use our memory, and that's a positive thing to utilize as you get older. For a minute I couldn't remember the name of Ellis's Pond. Uh-Oh!!!

    I also remember thinking that Ricky Bowe's parents were the best looking couple in our grade. I also thought Judy Hall's mother was pretty and Judy Schonemann's mother was pretty. Okay, now where's Judy Hall? I remember having laughing fits with her in the Willard School Library. Funny, how it all comes back.

    Peggy,

    I’m floored and flattered by your recollection. My mom died 10 years ago, but my father is still alive (and living in the same house on Mt Ave in Ridgewood ). He will no doubt be amused by your observation, 40 years past.

    Judy Hall lives in Glen Rock, no problem to get her on the line here, although I don’t have her email address, just street address.

    Judy S…congrats about your good looking mother.

    Rick Bowe

    Thank you! That beautiful lady (my mom) is now in a memory care facilty in Wisconsin for advanced Alzheimer's. A horrible disease!!!! I am honored to know that she always wears the cameo that I gave her decades ago. I bought it at Ben's 5&10!

    Peggy - I want to go back to your earlier comment about Blind Man's Bluff on the roof of "whatever that was" behind Willard (not yet elaborated on in this blog). How DID we do that without falling off! Did we have a blind fold or were we supposedly closing our eyes? (maybe that's why we didn't fall off!) There were always kids there to play it! Sort of "if you start it, they will come!"
