Our thoughts go out to Hardie Jackson and family, especially his parents, on the passing of their prize winning horse Barbaro.

Some things you can’t make up: Case in point – a recent email from an internal database maintenance employee at Deerfield.

John,

I got a telephone call from a former landlord of a Kevin Patrick who has a box of personal letters that were Kevin’s when he rented from this person in Washington D.C. sometime in the past 6 years. He would like to get in touch with Kevin to see if he wants the letters. I didn’t see a telephone number or email address for Kevin in Banner and then I noticed that he was the class of 1983 so I thought maybe you knew him.

The landlord’s name is Alan Proctor and his email is alan@proctor.us.

He thought that Kevin may have attended Deerfield in the late 70’s but I only found two and one was 1983 and the other 1988.

Let me know if you have any ideas how to get in touch with Kevin,

Can anyone help?

Most Recent Posting to class notes on www.DeerfielAlumni.org: Brian Steward:Like Christmas in January! Last evening, San Antonio was honored with the presence of the Head of School, the Director of Development, the Alumni Relations Director and the pride of Worcester, John Knight. While the Head of School's speech was appropriately enthusiastic and impressive, it was J.K. who stole the show with tales of skate sharpening, his tour as a corridor master, and his status as the penultimate Deerfield Boy. Thanks to all who attended the reception and I look forward to the next event in the Alamo City. (Submitted on Jan 10 2007)
