50 years for ’73 grads
Over 175 classmates of the Robert E. Lee High School, now Riverside High School, class of 1973 recently celebrated their 50th high school reunion. Attendees came from nine different states, including senior class president, Chase Morgan, who traveled all the way from Washington.
Guests included former Lee High coaches Leon Barrett, Ed Johnson and Skip Cross, as well as Linda Rogers, representing her late husband, Coach Corky Rogers.
“I enjoyed seeing the coaches and players from the first few years Corky and I were at Lee. Great memories,” said Rogers.
Ortega resident Becky Rood and her committee organized the fun-filled evening at the Ortega River Club, which included 27 members of the senior girls’ Powder Puff Football team, four varsity football players who were their coaches, and the “Yellers,” who performed as the Powder Puff team’s cheerleaders.
Debbie Washington Rankin said, “It was great to visit with classmates and reminisce about our youth, but better yet to see the ‘aged to perfection’ we have become. It was a blast! Looking forward to the next reunion in 2028.”
