Kickstarting a year's worth of sci-fi

Ben Allen let's us know that the magazine he mentioned in his recent Deerfield magazine class note is starting a Kickstarter campaign to fund itself for a new year of writing and publishing.

Check it out here

Help us to bring you a second great year of speculative short stories with style, atmosphere, character, intellect, & emotion.

Thankful

Its been roughly fifteen years since I started reaching out to classmates for news.  The blog is younger than that but it's had forty-thousand page views.

We're getting older.  Many of us are facing challenges like family changes, depression, addiction, MS, cancer etc.  Many of us have had successes of various kinds.  Some of us like to share and many of us don't.  No worries.

I wish each of you health and happiness this Thanksgiving.  Keep an eye out for each other and when you do connect - take a picture and send to me with a few sentences.  It helps more than you know.

Crushed it again...Keep the news coming!

Hope you've received the latest DEERFIELD magazine by now.

We had another two page spread and even heard from Ben Allen (now B. Morris Allen) who is a writer/publisher running an online magazine known as Metaphorosis.  We think he lives in Oregon...

The big hit for me in the mag was the wonderful piece by Chris Harris about being at Deerfield with his mom, Alice Childs Harris '41, on the occasion of her 75th reunion!

We'd love to see you there, cheering for the Big Green. There will be no shortage of DA pride, good friends and hot cocoa. Find us under the tent alongside the football field. You can find the Choate campus map here.

Check out the schedule for the day's events and be sure to follow us on twitter @deerfieldteams!

Choate, as you recall, is located at 333 Christian St., Wallingford, CT - yes, the place that smells like burning bacon!

GO BIG GREEN!

Kegger in Jordan

Just back from Parents Weekend with our daughter Brady at King's Academy in Jordan. She's having an incredible experience, making great friends and enjoying freshman year. Made varsity soccer too!  We couldn't be more proud. And we highly recommend the school -- wonderful place. - Craig

Central Park Skate slated for December 16

It's a blast (heated tent!) and tons of fun...

"Mix and Mingle with Deerfield under the catering tent (and throw on a pair of skates if you want) while taking in the amazing lights and scenes of Central Park. Plenty of spirits and snacks will be provided as conversation and connections are made. Don’t miss out on the chance to enjoy one of New York City’s most beloved destinations during the holiday season."
