"I'm kind of a words person"



This 28 minute video is fascinating and heartening and is all about Jeff Spadafora and his book, The Joy Model.

He is interviewed in the style of The View but gets the chance to talk about his upbringing, his time in the rat race, and finally his transformation through learning about God's purpose for him.


It's wonderful that Jeff made this video available on Facebook.  As you might expect he is happy and relaxed during the interview and simply being a great version of himself...

Denver plays host

We were proud to host Head of School Margarita Curtis and Athletic Director, Bob Howe on March 7th.  Peter Fair '81 and Mark Falcone' 81 played host at the Museum of Contemporary Art and a strong group of nearly fifty was on hand.  Many great things continue to happen for students both programmatically and in the physical plant.  See your latest DEERFIELD magazine for the news on the physical plant.

Great work by RJ and Don to join me in representing 83!



Here's a quick rundown of who was registered (was great to also see some newcomers to Denver brought along by their fellow alumni!)  Lots of great Deerfield people in Denver!!!
