Thoughts and prayers

Please hold Wills Elliman in your thoughts and prayers after he suffered a heart attack this week. No other information is available at this time but Eddy D'Alessandro and Peter Pauley are in touch with the family.

Motivated by Cost

You will remember that each year Deerfield students apply for funds from the Charles Piper Cost '83 Award.  Two young women from China won the award last year and made their presentation to the school yesterday.  They are focused on educational opportunities in their hometown and aren't content to stop at just one summer.  Helen (below) led the presentation and had this to say after her presentation: "Thanks again, and please kindly include my most sincere thankfulness for the Cost family and your entire class. May and I will continue work on Face to Face to make it a life-long business, but not just a summer project."

Read the magazine...

This is basically a test entry.  The feedburner digest email to subscribers seems to have taken a sabbatical, so I have changed some settings to see if I can get it going again.

You have missed two previous posts on www.DA1983.blogspot.com.

That said, you will receive a Deerfield Magazine soon, and you should read it.  Good description of new course being taught by Andy Harcourt (and others) that was a HUGE hit with the volunteers in attendance at Leaders Weekend April 26-27. Pilot program for the future of education...really.

Spread the word to sign up for REUNIONS.  Sign up by May 15 to be housed near your class.  After that its a real c***shoot.
