Executive - ly

You may remember that Chris Flagg and JK are both on the Executive Committee of the Alumni Association now - so you'll be happy to know that your class continues to have a voice in the engagement efforts for alumni.

Chris and JK only vote as a block and only talk just to each other during meetings.  Then they retire to the Deerfield Inn for refreshments!



















The recent meetings coincided with the dedication of the new athletic facility (think "renovations" totaling $68 MM).  It's a "game-changer" for many sports and with the recent Morsman Pavilion added over 6 of the tennis courts, there are really no weather related excuses for not practicing anymore...enjoy some pictures of the event. (And here's a link to 100 more pics of the facility/opening)

The new Class of 1993 Rink is built into the hillside with the new field house above it...
The rowing facility looks like the National Team training center - two rowing tanks and a roomful of ERGs next door.  There's a Weymouth on the wall of honor!

There's a golf simulator room, puck shooting room, two yoga studios etc. etc.
Chase Coleman '93 and family enjoyed the first skate on the ice.  Chase was instrumental in the funding for the rink...
Former grounds crew and rink manager Jim Antone was on hand to admire the new Jim Antone Skate Room - donated by five former DA hockey players...













Robe Hale '84 was given the great honor of a renamed facility - the "New Gym" is now the Hale Family Gymnasium - Rob spoke eloquently about the faculty members who shaped his talents and why he and his wife are so passionate about supporting financial aid at DA.
And of course, the ageless and still employed at DA Norm Therien of socks and jocks fame, was on hand to enjoy the festivities!
