Virtual Community

What a month + it's been since the last post.  The Covid-19 pandemic now holds us in our houses and creates different kinds of pressure.  We hope you are coping well, taking care of your mental and physical health, and finding joy wherever  you can. The one classmate I know of who has had C-19 and is now healthy again has been busy donating blood serum so his antibodies can help others.

Deerfield has announced that classes will remain remote for the rest of the school year, and that 2020 reunions will be postponed a year (back to back reunion weekends next year!)

DA has also just launched a community building website you might enjoy - The Friday Common Room.  There are some wonderful student comments and photos about their favorite spot on campus, a student video, links to other details etc.

If you think a Class Happy Hour on Zoom appeals at all, let JK know at jgknight83ATgmail.com.  It's easy to set up but he'd like to know if anyone would attend!  He is game to drink alone if necessary.

How are you coping?  Are you being creative at all?  Send JK some photos so he can share them with the class!
