2006 - September - DA 83 E News

DA Class of 1983 E-Newsletter
Sept-Oct 2006


Dear 83er,

Welcome new “subscribers”! It is great to have Jamie Rogers and Hong Lee in our distribution list now – that makes 135 going strong in ’83! Let’s try to add as many as we can this year as we prepare to RALLY TO THE VALLEY in June 2008!

Thanks to PB Weymouth for the completion of his 6 years on the Executive Committee of the Deerfield Alumni Association! Drew Schiff has one last year on the Board of Trustees to complete his ten year tenure. Thanks guys!

Deerfield Daughters? It has happened. Four members of the Class of 1983 have all brought children to Deerfield recently as part of the admission process. And they are all daughters! John Munro earns the early bird award, followed closely by Jamie Rogers, Bruce Gregory and Hong Lee. Great to have them all back on campus – even while a little nerve-wracking that DA is the toughest boarding school in the country to get into these days…

ClASS NOTES: (Ed. Note. This space will no longer carry the bulk of the 1983 Class notes – unless they are unfit for public consumption – then you’ll see them here. Most notes can be viewed on www.DeerfieldAlumni.org, so you should register for the alumni website to read them and post your own.).

Case in point: Dave Ziccardi, yup, Dave Ziccardi posted a note there after 23 years. If you need any helping logging on to the new site, like your unique ID – please email jknight@deerfield.edu

Other notes on the site are from or about Vincent Fabella, Eric Suher, Don Hindman, Chris Day, Dave Morley and the list goes on and on. Register – log in and post a note and a picture – it’s that easy…

GOING FORWARD it is likely the Class of 1983 page on the www.deerfieldalumni.org site will be the central location of information and announcements – so know how to get there.

NEW ADDITION TO THE 1983 Communication channel: Lest you think that this newsletter lacks value when the class notes are elsewhere, a Web Album has been created for the Class of 1983. See current photos of classmates! Make comments about them! Imagine the fun! Check it out by holding “Ctrl” while you click on the DA 1983 link:
