John Milne former DA faculty

From Martin Milne's Facebook post on 7/1/16

Dad, you were an amazing father, grandfather, teacher, coach, husband, and camp director and thanks for giving us so many years of your love, joy, and keen wit. May you rest in peace and keep the angels laughing!

DA did it!

And YOU helped!

"We did it! Thanks to all of your help, Deerfield reached its goal of 50% alumni participation by midnight last night (the end of our fiscal year)! As a result, the school will be receiving an additional $1 million donation from a brother/sister alumni team. We are incredibly grateful to all of you who made gifts and helped spread the word about the Million Buck Challenge. It would not have been possible without you!"

Leaders get followed!


Did you catch the recent DA Magazine "Comments" section?

"The mountain climbers of the Class of '83 are an inspiration to us all" wrote Tom Wilson '48.  Then he included a photo of his 2013 summit of Mount Kilimanjaro (about age 86?)!
As usual we crushed the classnotes section including Nate Nourse's latest ski adventure getting its own page!!! And how 'bout the three page spread on the work Mark Beaubien is doing to track hurricanes?  The blog has had a few posts in the past as interesting things happened but the article compiles it all.

Our lives go their own ways but we're forever connected.  Thanks for sharing whatever is going on in your life - it all adds up to '83 leadership.. Screw the class of 1980 and their King...

Focus...For a Million Bucks

Three days left to help DA: 1) reach 50% alumni participation - a huge accomplishment and 2) earn an extra $1MM from a brother sister alumni pair.  Every gift, no matter how large or small, will get us closer to our goals.
