About Old Rats

Old Rats is dedicated to the old boys that attended Riverside Military Academy during the late 1960s through the mid 1970s … however, all rats are welcome here. This site will keep some up-to-date information from recent get togethers, reunions, facebook posts & e-mails between the rats. This is a ‘members only’ site, to add your own story or comment on an exiting story you must register as a member. After you register you will receive an e-mail conformation. Please comment on any of the posts & photos however, what we would really like are stories from your time at Riverside. Please write the story like you were sitting around a bar telling it to fellow rats. Also please add at least one photo, even if you have to grab it from an old yearbook or you can find some old photos here. Have fun with this site!
