Where the waters Rocky River blend with Lake Erie .....
Stands our noble Alma Mater, throned in majesty;
Sing her praises, never ceasing - we shall ever cry
Thee we honor, Alma Mater - Rocky River High!
(Does anybody remember if there was a second verse???)
HEY - SOMETHING NEW HAS BEEN ADDED!
Don't miss the new MINI-REUNIONS link on the main menu. We will be using this to post photos of our get-togethers between now and the 50th reunion.
First post (for now) is some shots from Ellen Aspinwall (Templar)'s recent visit.
(Some of us have changed a little since high school.....)
*** NEWS FLASH ***
September 11 is shaping up as a great mini-reunion right here on the north coast!
Bruce McKelvey's visit and his party planning at the Winking Lizard have attracted a lot of alumni - and some first-timers - to this chance to visit with their RRHS classmates.
The main event is planned for Saturday, September 11, starting at 6:00 pm, at the Winking Lizard restaurant, 32045 Detroit Road, Avon OH. Bruce is hoping to see a lot of the locals and anyone else who can be here.
Congratulations, River '63! Over 9,000 hits - and counting -on this little Web site. Only one hit PER DAY per person is tallied, so we are getting a lot of traffic, a lot of email, and more participation than you know. It started in July 2009, so we're still averaging over 700 hits a month.
THANKS TO ALL OF US WHO ARE OUT HERE, AND WELCOME TO EVERYONE ELSE.
PLEASE ENCOURAGE ANYONE YOU KNOW
WHO ISN'T HERE TO JOIN US.
(Look how happy the Pirate is today!)
The Pirate says: Yowsah!!! - we added our 117th , 118th and 119th members on September 3, thanks to Brian McKeown, Ron Caffo and Kathryn Tabler (Blumenfeld-Jones)! But we still have a long way to go... If each of us does his or her part to contact any of our non-participating or missing members, it would really help to add interest, variety and excitement to rockyriver63.com.
The real success of this Web site is the communication between classmates that has begun and continues because we're all out here. That will be multiplied each time we add a new member who can be in touch with former classmates and new friends. Can you help? - Please?
NOSTALGIC LINKS have been added to the Menu Bar.
Turn your speakers on and take some time to look back at our history!
LIVE CHAT IS NOW IN PLACE, and improvements are on the way.
For now, the best way classmates can use it is to set up an "appointment" to have a chat - any two or more alumni - until Instant Messaging is working.
Try it with one or more of your friends!
Please take a look at the free-for-all known as "Message Forum" and use this opportunity to speak your mind about ANYTHING.

We hear a lot of emails are being exchanged!

"Message Center" makes class emailing easier! Now you can write and send new messages directly from the "Message Center" page, instead of having to go to the '63 Alumni Profiles. Moreover, your messages, both sent and received, are saved for reference. And each dialogue is saved in a history, or "thread".
In time you will likely have many threads, which are all accessible through a page indexing legend at the top of the Messages page. This will allow you to click to go to previous pages of threads.
You can toggle between "inbox" and "outbox", and even sort your messages.
If you don't want to save older threads, just click on the red 'X' at the right to delete them. If you are sure you won't need to refer to older messages, delete several threads at once by checking the box at the left, and then clicking on the "Delete selected threads" button at the bottom.
