Dave Moran shares, with us, a tribute to our high school days and invites you to add your thoughts.

Everything I needed to Know In life I learned At Ridley


It took me 30 years to understand, utilize and accept things I learned at Ridley.

If you work hard you get the grade,
If you ask for help, it comes,
If you pray it works,
If you get wasted it doesn’t.
When you think you got away, Schnellenbach was watching,
He didn’t always see it all
Or he didn’t report it all.
When you get caught, get humble, people will bend over backwards for you.
Honesty is the best policy,
as long as you tell the right version of the truth, to the right person.
Your friends already forgave you.
Friends are for life.
Like a phone call from Mickey, picks up like the years never passed.
You look in Pat’s eyes not recognizing her last name but knowing her since forever.
Running into Mike and Jane at a visitor's center in Virginia and feeling the camaraderie of a teenager.
The memories are many, friends invaluable and regrets a waste of time!
And a question I am often asked and ask myself…Did we really do all that??????
