The Halls Of RHS 1968-69 a Song by Phil Fielder

This website has many features which will allow you to connect with old friends you made at RHS and make new ones along the way. If you are currently a member, but cannot login, please use the Contact Us link to let us know so we can assist you.

The left side margin’s first link, First Time Visitors.  Be sure to visit that page first.  On that page is important information:

• The Purpose of This Website
• Privacy Notice
• Setting Up Your Profile
• Missing Classmates
• Communicating with Classmates
• Adding Pictures to your Profile
• Site Page Links

There are more links also on the left side of every page to past reunions with photos and memorabilia. You can also visit pages dedicated to the annual, the band, our military veterans, music of our time, and an In Memoriam for those we have lost through the years.  Please take the time to visit these pages from time to time.  The pages are password protected, except for the In Memoriam, and are for RHS 1969 Class members and some special guests.  In Memoriam pages are open so that visiting family members and loved ones of our deceased classmates can leave comments and memories to share with us without a login.

The links at the top of the page will take you back here to Home, and to Classmate Profiles, the Message Forum,   User Forum (the User Forum is mainly for Politics and Religion) and to Live Chat.  Please make sure you read the rules before posting anything to the forums.   

We would like to acknowledge all the volunteers who have worked very hard to make this website possible and all the reunions and mini reunions of the past.  These dedicated classmates spent countless hours of their time or shared their photos of events to keep this class together and create wonderful memories for us all.  I hope at some time in the future there is an interest in getting together again.  If so, Contact Us, or any of your other classmates, through the Message Center and so that (you) we can share,  plan and come together once again.

Last but not least...

This website was launched in June of 2013.  A couple of months prior to that, David Cordell met me, Sandra Spieker Ringo for lunch in Allen to discuss the prospect of creating this website.  I volunteered to help David because I was at the time a full-time website designer and developer.  I had done some research prior to our meeting and recommended he use Class Creator to build this website.  At that time David had saved many photos, documents and content that we were able to transfer to the website.  A big part of that content was contributed by numerous other classmates.    It was a remarkable collaboration that I have been proud to be a part of.  Because of that effort, the website has endured and brought our class through several reunions and made it possible for many new and old connections for countless classmates. 

David announced this past June that he was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer.  He fought valiantly but lost his battle on September 9, 2026.   Because of his constant dedication to our class, this website is dedicated to the memory of David Mark Cordell, who was our class Student Council President, the ultimate webmaster and dedicated steward to the Richardson High School Class of 1969. What he contributed to this class in the 57 years of his stewardship cannot be measured in words.  He truly was our torch bearer and friend.  Rest in peace David and thank you.
