Riverside was a great place to grow up and RHS was the best. I have many fond memories of fellow students, staff and events.

Some events that come to mind include: the sock hops (I was fortunate to be the official keeper of the Key Club record collection used at the dances), basketball/football/hockey/swimming competitions, pep rallies, the semi-formal (all night parties at the Thrasher's after), roller skating, hanging out at the diary bar...etc.

I remember being transported to a junior football game, fully dressed in football gear, crammed into Mr. Snider's VW. I am not sure how many of us were in there, but I seem to recall 8. I wonder how they do it now.

It is great to reconnect to many from that era. I also remember those who have not made it this far. My brother, Scott, Kent Billinghurst, Colin Ritchie, Kathy Tebbs come to mind. And there have been more in recent years including Randy Chedour and Wendy Bunt.

May we have a few more reunions and make many more connections in the years to come.
