Celebrity

Just because Duke can talk and stars in Bush's Beans commercials doesn't mean our award winning classmate Van Sullivan isn't a celebrity in his own right!  Van delivers culinary excellent at UMass Dining and we hope he will share copies of his award winning apple pie recipe at REUNIONS, JUNE 8-10!

New A/V Club?

Facebook delivered this gem to the blog via a military veteran's post.  

You may remember that Ben Patton helps veterans work through their PTSD by telling their stories through film.  You may also remember that Spence Brown helps celebrities (and others) get their stories out via radio and podcast.

Ben explains the photo: "Spencer and I reconnected in New York after three decades of not being in touch, when we discovered some important things in common. We both share a love of history and desire to support our veterans. This spring, Spencer generously offered to feature my org, the Patton Veterans Project and some of the vets we work with on a podcast taped for his kickass new digital audio platform, Cadence 13. We hope to roll it out on ITunes shortly - and if enough ‘83ers can help spread the word, maybe it will be the first of many. 

Great to be reconnected with Spencer, do some good and create some positive memories together. 

Can’t ask for more than that! See you at the reunion!"

Great things can happen when we connect...Speaking of reunion - here's where to get the info and register!

Executive 83

Chris Flagg and John Knight recently attended the Spring meeting of the Executive Committee of the Deerfield Academy Alumni Association.

As your representatives they asked good questions, made trustees listen to their salient points and twice disrupted the proceedings with selfie taking.  (Actually, that was all JK.  Flagg was falsely accused).

Deerfield's master plan for the campus proceeds apace - new and improved athletic facilities will open in the Fall, and a new Health facility will be built after the shabby grey Physical Plant building is removed.  (New Phys. Plant building already up and running on the Williams Farm property that DA purchased.)

The three seniors that spoke to the assembled committee were articulate, thoughtful and already years beyond most of our levels of maturity at that age.  The Head of School Search Committee hopes to have a new Head of School announced by Thanksgiving but no interviews have taken place yet.

A few pictures below - but nothing beats seeing it in person at our 35th REUNION!  Pricing increases May 24 - REGISTER NOW.  Even if you can only make it Saturday, please come!

Here's one look at the new field house with hockey rink underneath it (left side of picture), next to existing squash and pool building, taken from the playing fields.



















And here's a fence banner image of what the complete look will be from the playing fields...
