What one student at DA is up to...

Fifty of these "Little White Houses" with Emily Dickinson poetry are installed on campus, the brainchild of a current Deerfield junior.  The show moves next to the Emily Dickinson home and grounds in Amherst.  At the conclusion of the shows, all materials will be used in a house build for Habitat For Humanity.

For more info see Deerfield Academy on Facebook or http://www.actionartinc.com/

The two, the brave

Matt Calman has two kids interviewing at DA this weekend. Good thing he works at a bank!  DA 42 - Hotchkiss (coached by Danny Smith '85) 21! Played at Frontier Regional HS.  (No grass at DA, remember?)

Vermont Impromptu

So I'm in South Burlington and Jim Wareck calls me to tell me he is getting on a plane to Burlington Friday night.  He was planning on a writing weekend with writing partner Brad Weir.  I convinced them to rally for a beverage and the rest is history.  More big things cookin' for Wareck and Weir!

Peter Hindle on Boyden, Calculus and Deerfield on Vimeo

http://vimeo.com/m/#/29630547

I'm only mobile this weekend but wanted to post this Legacy Project video of Peter Hindle describing how DA came to teach calculus.

Stories like these are being recorded at reunions. FYI

Best from beautiful Vermont.

Is it good for horse racing too?

New sod arrived this morning and they started on James Smith Field (football) first.  Sod trucks on Albany Road much of the day so far.

Old Dog, New tricks

That's Bob Moorehead, famed architecture teacher at DA.  He had just opened a bubble wrapped package of a newly framed work, "Tsunami", done by him.  It has traditional pen and ink properties but also digital "slices" from photoshop etc.  I thought that was pretty cool...

Every Blade of Grass

I had lunch with the new CFO today. He told me that due to the flooding caused by Irene and the silt which has covered our 13 fields, every blade of grass on every field will have to be replaced. Every blade.

The picture is of the first field which has been dug up and piled. It's the varsity softball field between the varsity football field and the river. No insurance on grass of course.

I heard once that to replace the grass on the main quad after the reunion tent comes down is around $30,000.

If you have ever wondered what the importance of the Annual Fund is and what specifically it "funds", well, now you know.

Hopefully better pictures will come forth of the complete decimation of the lower level, but this is what I could take with my phone.

Tamarind Daiquiri anyone?

Thrilled to have my first taste of delicious Privateer Rum in a Tamarind Daiquiri at The Pearl on Nantucket. Finally found the loot!

WWLP-22News: Deerfield Inn damaged by flooding

Deerfield Inn damaged by flooding

The Deerfield Inn has stood in the National Historic Landmark Deerfield village since 1884, but despite its historic value, it wasn't spared from heavy damage from Tropical Storm Irene.

Main street in Deerfield

East Campus Evolution

These days the "other side of Main Street" is known as East Campus - two new dorms since our day (Louis and Marx) and one less (Chapin), but that's evolving once more.

A combination of factors: an old wooden dorm with no fire sprinkler system, a slightly larger student body, a desitre to house all faculty "on-campus" is leading to some changes across the street.  Claudia Lyons and David Dickinson (she of French and Admission, he of Visual Arts and Faculty Band (aka The Punkadelics)) are moving - to their same house which will be placed on a new foundation at the edge of Chapin Field (pics one and two).  The rest of Chapin Field will house a modular temporary dorm (to be called Chapin I think) until the new dorm is built on the site of the moved home...and the soon to be demolished Ashley House (pic 3).

Ashley House served the school well and was home to some of us in 1979-80 and a few proctors in '82-'83 (Cruikshank and ???).  I'll send demo pics when it happens but if you have any archival images of Ashley scan them and email to me or mail them and I will do it and add to DA Archives. (PO 306...01342)

Cheers from Albany Road...

Calling all privateers!

Here's a fun read on Nelse's new adventure...

If you had asked me two years ago, I never would have guessed that today I would be making rum in a steel warehouse up in clam country (Ipswich, Ma). That said, this is shaping up to be a quite an interesting and fun journey.

Montana adventure

Not to be outdone, Dave Ziccardi just returned from a week of biking in Montana and posted this slideshow.  Beautiful stuff and inspiring attitude - get out there and live, boys!

Anyone else vacationing these days or have travel photos to share?

Go West!

Here's our man Chris Averill recently at the Grand Canyon.  He's with his family and clearly having a great time, hiking, horseback riding etc.Thanks to him for posting on FB.  This may also inform his middle school science teaching at Noble & Greenough School  in Dedham, MA!

Shout out to Don Hindman

You may remember that Don moved his family from Chicagoland to Denver fairly recently.  I gave him some familiar names who lived in the area and Don made the time to reach out.  The result?  A great dinner with Jeff Spadafora and Taylor Watts!  Now that's networking '83 style.  Great to see those faces again.

In related Facebook news, Sean Nottage (Bahamas) will call a meeting of the Pocumtuck Valley '83 alumni (Suher, Knight, Nourse, Shelton, Puschak....) when he next visits the in-laws this summer....

If you want to find the names in your area, let me know.  or maybe i'll just post a list!

CC in the house

With one of his daughters "on his way" to VT from RI.  Always great to see a member of '83!

Chris Lynch Climbing Myrdalsjokull glacier in Iceland

John, was in Iceland for four days, the ice climb was part of a glacier hike I did one of the days there. Think I was the oldest one in the group by about 10 years....

Thanks Euiduk!

Four new EZ Up tents are appearing for reunions, donated by the Han brothers Wonduk '84 and Euiduk '83. Wonduk is the Japanese distributor for EZUp. Makes us ALL look good.

BTB favorites

Just finished watching Jim and Brad's first movie (you know there will be more) and it reallly is a fun watch. Thanks guys! Sorry if I'm breaking copyright rules with this pic but it's one of my favorites from the movie.

Stay tuned for a showing in the small aud this summer!!!

Son, here are the keys. Please be careful.

This blog has a loyal following of 60+.  Wish it were more.  It often contains news of classmates and sometimes (too often for some) contains more general academy news.

You can change the ratio by copying this email address into your smartphone etc.

jgknight83.da1983@blogger.com

You now have the keys to posting to this blog.  Any text, image etc. should post to this site if you email it to the address.  It will post immediately and appear in the nightly digest currently set for 7 pm eastern.

While I may be the most interested to share news of the class, I am not the only one.  This occurred to me when after the Whit Hagerman post, Pete Crow and John Munro realized they both had kids at Brooks School and vowed to connect at Parents Weekend.  That would make a great picture and post for this blog, but they would need the keys to make it simple.

It's a big responsibility, but I know you can handle it.  Save the address, take a pic and post it.

Hilarious Guesses and One Right Answer...

Guesses on yesterday's photo quiz were received from Schmidt, Munro,Zales, Sheppard and Nourse.  Answers ranged from: "your daughter" to "Helen Childs Boyden" to "the daughter of a classmate" to "Craig Pattee" - but the right answer (from Munro and a fellow McAlister Dorm resident in 1981-1982): "A Hagerman, Whittaker I think."

The background for his answer is not the McAlister Dorm connection, since Whittaker wasn't born yet, but I did think it a nice hint...John's daughter attends Brooks School and her advisor is Casey Hagerman, the oldest of the four Hagerman daughters.  Kully (daughter #2) coaches lax at Babson, Jamison (DA '99) works at Groton and Whit has just started her new job in the Admission Office at Choate!  A great school family.  (We all have to start our careers somewhere.....)  Thanks for the guesses!

Any guesses?

Any guesses who I'm pictured with in front on McAlister dorm today?

When you're right, you're right...

As a follow up to a story reported in October 2010, when Eric Peterson wouldn't allow his St. George's School football team to play against a MUCH bigger Lawrence Academy team for safety reasons, it turns out Eric was on to something.

Boston news outlets are reporting a series of sanctions imposed on LA by their league (ISL) for improper financial aid packages to athletes (my summary) and the school has had to vacate their two previous league titles and faces other restrictions for three years.

Eric is not the gloating kind, but kudos to him for doing what's right at the time, and being vindicated later. (Frank DeFord's NPR commentary did support Eric at the time, but many others considered him a quitter).

It's hard to have ideals these days, but we're glad Eric has them and defends them...

BTB Finally!

Jim Wareck just announced on Facebook that the movie he wrote with Brad Weir is now available for purchase and on Netflix! Put it in your queue or click here to purchase http://www.ottercreekmp.com/Coming%20Soon/BTB/BTB.html. Nice work boys!
