Winning Some $ is Possible for '83!
Halfway through the April Donor Challenge and we're still in third (Both categories: Overall Total and Most Improvement). This is actually impressive for us!
Our competition in the most improved category is below. This is clearly where we can make our mark and win cash for our class because I know 1997 and 1979 are making another run for the most donor title.

Dios mío!
Paul Magee stopped by campus today for five minutes. No big deal except HE LIVES IN MEXICO and hasn't been to campus in a decade! He was visiting his 83 year old mom who just had a hip replaced in Bronxville, NY and then his sister who lives in W Hartford, CT. He was driving to Walpole, NH with his brother in law and figured what the heck, go say hi to JK...Such a thrill. He recommends all the books by McKay Jenkins '81. When Paul was reminded that the April Donor Challenge was happening he pulled out a $20 and said "That's a buck for each year since graduation!" So maybe math isnt his forte but he's got spirit! Great to see you Pablo, please don't wait another ten years.
And less than two hours after Paul's visit, another international classmate called to make his April Donor Challenge gift. Johannes "Yogi" Mortier - our orthapedic surgeon in Dusseldorf, also informed the class that his 13 year old son happily challenges any of us to a tennis match, as his accolades continue. Scott Pryce in Spain might be closest geographically- maybe we'll see how that matchup goes before we send any others?
A banner day for '83!

A Thank You from Brian Steward
On November 19, 2010, I finally walked down the aisle with the lovely
Hannah Williams. That fact is secondary to the rest of this comment
but it is certainly a place to start.
In attendance at this blessed event were D.A.'s finest James Wareck '83
and Corbin Snow, III '81. As many of you may recall, I am originally from
San Antonio. As such, I have been around Corbin's family for
approximately 40 years. Corbin's presence was a poignant reminder of
the power of relationships and extended family. Jim's presence,
however, was a test. During the college years, Jim and I traveled
together a great deal despite attending different schools. Somehow,
that meant that Jim and I would pile into one of our vehicles and
travel north to invade Hamilton and other institutions. I confess
that I was not always the best passenger (or driver). In Hamilton, I
distinctly recall stuffing my sports car into a snow bank while Jim
and Al Kerr were trapped in the hatch. Fortunately (for me), I was
enjoying a great conversation with Al's girlfriend at the time. Some
of you may also remember our 5th reunion where Jim graciously provided
me with the keys to his parent's Suburban. Some of you were even on
the Suburban as we rocketed across the lower level and stuck it axle
deep behind the tennis courts. Fortunately, we were able to extricate
the vehicle and no one (read me) was harmed in the act. Clearly, Jim
COULD have exacted his revenge at the wedding but he did not. Instead
Jim regaled a table of like minded people about his movie/screen
writing career. He did not tell any storiees about my strange hatred
of Parney Hagerman or any of the multitude of stupid things that I did
during college and after. Jim (or the memory of Jim) caused me a
great deal of concern but that anxiety was misplaced. I admit that I
had "people" placed to spirit Jim away if he decided to end my wife's
day of tribute (and no I did not consider it OUR wedding). This time
Jim behaved appropriately (as opposed to Doug Schmidt's Kansas wedding
where Jim's antics were legendary). After the ceremony, my mother
remarked that Jim had certainly matured, which was a direct reference
to Jim's consumption of champagne on graduation day so many years ago.
Jim - thank you for your exemplary behavior and I apologize for
doubting you! Everyone needs to see/buy/rent Below the Beltway.

Guyer Acting Career Heating Up
Guyer acting gigs heating up - that's him on the left, Tim Hutton on the right...
Oregon’s film and television industry has never looked stronger. Vince Porter, executive director of the Governor’s Office of Film and Television, predicts that the state will pull in more than $90 million from television shows and films shot here in 2011. And that record windfall could be just the beginning.For the third year in a row, Electric Entertainment is shooting its action series Leverage in Portland. According to Porter, the Leverage team wrote checks to 417 Oregon businesses and put 471 local people on the payroll in 2010.
The payoff could be even bigger if the recently filmed television pilot Grimm wins over NBC executives. NBC is expected to decide in April or May whether to back the quirky fairy tale/cop show written for Portland by a team with past involvement in the massively successful Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchise. Porter’s predecessor at the state’s film office, Steve Oster, the line producer for Grimm, was instrumental in bringing the production to Oregon. If the pilot becomes a major network show, it could pull $45 million per year into the state.
|
Leverage is just one of many productions contributing to Oregon's growing film and TV industry. |
The direct economic impact of the quirky spoof show Portlandia is smaller than that, but the recent news that the show would continue for another season certainly generates buzz. News is also expected soon on the fate of another pilot recently shot in Portland, TBS’s Brain Trust, which would have a budget similar to that of Leverage.
As soon as the shooting ended for Grimm, it started for the feature film Gone, starring Amanda Seyfried.
But for all the excitement around live shooting, the opportunity may be even bigger in the Portland area for animation. Laika is gearing up for its long-awaited follow-up to the Academy Award-nominated Coraline, and Portland-based Bent Image Lab is growing rapidly, specializing in animation and music videos.
“Oregon is developing a real fertile cluster on the animation side,” says Porter. “I see that side growing quickly, even faster than the live-action side… I would love nothing more than to market us as home for another animation company because our talent pool is growing.”

Schmidt '83 stuns Deerfield; promises calls
New York-
J. Douglas Schmidt, co-class captain for Deerfield's illustrious Class of 1983, announced today that he would mobilize his Class Agent team during the upcoming April Donor Challenge. "Our strategy last year was to do nothing and our results reflected that effort. Seven donors last April placed our class 42nd out of the 80 classes still alive. This year will be different. This year we are aiming for 57 donors in April. We have a chance to claim some of the $50,000 in prize money offered up by an anonymous trustee."
The contest, which counts any alumni donation made (online or postmarked) between April 1 and April 30, 2011, and rewards the top six finishers with cash credit to their class total, is the brainchild of Deerfield's Annual Support Steering Committee. Committee Chair and trustee, Zeke Knight '54, G03 could not be reached for comment but has previously said on record, "Why is the Class of 1983 so far down this list?"
Schmidt is excited to have the help of Class Agents Dean Singewald and Pete Townsend, as well as fellow Captain, John Knight. At the same time, he admitted he was most worried about the classmates assigned to Agent Rob Gulick. "Rob lives in Kosovo and has not been heard from in over a year. I hope that his assignments (Bourne, Compagno, Davey, Day, Hindman, Kaufmann, Mack, McKelvey and Wester) get the message somehow."
Schmidt also reminds classmates of the generous counting methodology allowed in this contest. "We have 25 terrific classmates who have already contributed this fiscal year; (Beaubien, Bennett, Blain, Bresnahan, Calman, Flagg, Grace, Greenberg, Guyer, Kikoski, Knight, Mahan, Malik, Patton, Pryce, Roberts, Robinson, Schiff, Steward, Stewart, Suher, Tritschler, Watts, Wolf, Wright). This contest is for them too as they are allowed to make another donation of any amount ($8.30?) in the month of April to help boost the class participation total! That's a thoughtful design in my opinion."
"Look for the appeal mailed from Deerfield and prepare for a call from a class volunteer" Schmidt reminded his classmates, "'cause this is our time!"

More New England Champs!
The four faces depicted here won the New England title in the 400 freestyle relay,
the last event of a grueling championship meet over the weekend, and reset their last
season's New England record. The team placed third overall, merely five points in a high scoring contest behind Andover. Exeter took the team title. These faces, however, speak volumes. Three of this same gang also won and set a new NE record in the spring
relay earlier in the evening. (with thanks to coach Sonja O'Donnell for the reporting)

Twice as Nice
Meet the medalists (and the captain) who helped make BOTH Deerfield Alpine Ski teams New England Champions yesterday!
Behind the Music
Eric Suher sent some nice trivia after seeing the Hank LeMieux video clip yesterday.
"John, not certain anyone would pick up on this, but Hank is singing a song called "Barely Breathing" written by Duncan Sheik--and the song reached the number 1 or 2 spot on the Billboard Top 40 in 1996...I only know this because we hired him to play the Iron Horse when he released the record, and by the time our date came along, the song was at the top of the charts. The show sold out instantly and many people who couldn't get tickets listened on the sidewalk...BUT, that's not the reason I am writing...Duncan graduated from Eaglebrook--I believe just several years after we left DA...He then attended Andover...

Talented Pair
And I thought Peter Eleftherio was just the principal of a boston talent agency in the marketing space...But I see he has a side talent, or at least his spouse does, for home renovation. Looks like the Eleftherios have some guts! Nice work you two...

What once was lost...
The last I heard of Fred Chase was maybe ten years ago and that he was a pro poker player in Vegas. He recently updated his information on the DA alumni site and we can now officially welcome him back!
Frederick Chase (1983) and Sare Chate are happy to announce their marriage. They are also proud to announce the birth of a baby girl, Hanna Lucia Chase. She was born on May 27, 2010 and weighed 7 lb., 8 oz. They all currently reside in Lima, Peru.
Hoping to have a new DA1983 subscriber soon...

Virginia Slim
Congrats to Will Wolf on his new position.
"Just a quick note to let you know I'm leaving McKinsey to become global head of HR strategy and innovation at Credit-Suisse. It's a new position they've created to help manage an ambitious people agenda at a time of significant change in the banking industry. After many years of advising clients, I'm excited and eager to dig into implementation. I'll be based in New York but spending a good deal of time in Zurich and London."
Will lives in Alexandria, VA and has always been slim. You've come a long way baby!
Last day of interviewing....
Thought you might be interested to see the hometowns of the 42 kids who will interview with Deerfield Admission Office today. Seventeen are phone/Skype interviews but the DA staff will still have to hussle on this last formal day of interviewing before decisions are announced March 10. Good luck to anyone who may be applying etc. It's going to be another rough year...

Nash Hangs Shingle
Dr. Andrew Nash is a pediatric physician who lives in Walnut Creek, CA. He also still plays a mean lead guitar. Just saw his FB post on his new venture and wanted the class to know what he is up to and to wish him well if you choose...
"For anybody who hasn't heard the news or gotten "the letter" I'm leaving Alamo Medical Group and starting my own pediatrics practice in Danville! Anybody who wants more info should either call my new office at: (925) 362-1861 or email me at: Info@1to1Pediatrics.com. A whole new style of pediatric practice!"

The man the myth
David Dickinson presiding over the latest edition of his brainchild, the KFC. "Mr. D" has been in the DA Fine Arts Department since 1988, but as the husband of language teacher Claudia Lyons, we saw him as a founding member of the faculty band known as the "Punkadelics". Who were the other band members? Any favorite memories of Punkadelics performances? Leave a comment....
Past and present
Twice a year the KFC (Koch Friday Concert) takes place at DA. Started by David Dickinson and Claudia Lyons in 2008 (yes, they are still there!) its basically an open mike night for DA students. Thirty Four acts signed up to play at the winter version, held in the atrium "star-field" of the Koch Center for Science, Math and Technology. Eric Suher was able to scout the local musical talent while also bumping into current Deerfield junior Jean-Francois Roberts, son of Davis!

The depth of his understanding
In high school, you probably don't see the full measure of a classmate, or realize the potential within the brain and heart before you. But each in our own way, we migrate toward some destiny. A few get there sooner than the rest....I saw this video on the World Learning Blog and thought; "Nicely done, Adam".

Go * Green!
The calendar year is drawing nigh and you may be considering philanthropic support for your esteemed list of charitable organizations. Class Captains Schmidt and Knight continue to softly encourage classmates to support Deerfield, to predictably mediocre results. Our New Year's resolution might be to encourage a little harder!
If now is your time to give*, please keep Deerfield on your list. Many of us have already done so and we welcome all "joiners"! So Go Green if you can, whether you go * (Big) or not is your call.
Happy New Year!
Use the online giving link (www.deerfield.edu/give) or mail to PO Box 306, Deerfield, MA 01342 (hey!)

Practicing What I Preach
Took the annual picture with Chris Davey at the Christmas Eve Service at the "Brick Church" in Deerfield. (Taken by a Deerfield alumnus Class of 2005!)
Special
As the parent of an only daughter, who was born on December 25th...five years ago, you can imagine how "special" this time of year can be. You would also correctly surmise that our daughter has an out of perspective sense of her own specialness. She has been waking about 15 minutes earlier each day all week, so santa better get out of the house quickly lest he be discovered!
All that aside, the Class of 1983 is special too. I wish you only the best as the new year approaches with the hope of continued friendships and rekindled old ones. If the blog can help, send photos, comments and news, and tell your classmates to subscribe because its a painless digest email only on those days with a post.
Best for 2011 and beyond.

Congrats Brian!
It's official! Brian Steward married Hannah Williams on November 19 in San Antonio. Jim Wareck was on hand to convey the congratulations of the class and Corbin Snow '81 did likewise for his class. I'd say our man in San Antonio has come a long way. Welcome to the Deerfield family Hannah!

Flash Buck! Thursday 8 am
The Class of 1983 is invited to a version of a "flash mob", but its a coordinated meet and greet at a Starbucks somewhere in the world, announced only on the blog.
The first one is Thursday, Dec. 9 at 8 am, 425 Madison Avenue. (49th and Madison Avenue). See you there...I'm buying!
Wareck in Washington Post
When working in politics, being mentioned in the Washington Post isnt always a good thing. But Jim Wareck will probably take this press about his new movie and how it reflects the lexcion of DC representations. Sorry that co-writer Brad Weir gets short shrift in this one...(image is a scene from the movie)

Schmidt-ileaks
Its great to have a man in the inside. Doug Schmidt is that for our class. He paces the streets of New York City, cell phone to ear, looking for Deerfield connections, opportunities...and classmates.
He says he "just bumped into" his latest find, Charlie Grace.
Congrats to Charlie on his new job (of about a year) working for FOX, that's Family Office Exchange based in Chicago. See his CEO on SquawkBox in the video below.
Now if we could just get Schmidt (or anyone else in the class) to take a picture when they "bump into" classmates!

I hope your Thanksgiving holiday exceeded all of your expectations. I'm thankful for the burgeoning interest in the class by the class as evidenced by an uptick in subscribers. Please take a moment to email two classmates that you keep in close touch with and ask them to subscribe if they have not. The more the merrier... Feel free to post a comment if there are topics or people you would like to know more about and the investigative team will swing into action!

Patton envelope pushing
Fred* film workshops co-founders Scott Kinnamon and Ben Patton '83 visited Deerfield on November 16th, to encourage the use of filmmaking for student storytelling and narrative across the curriculum.
Great to see them and to get a better sense of what they are up to. Their work with teens is also leading to interesting opportunities for storytelling films by recent war veterans and other constituencies.
RIP Flip
Philip E Charron Jr., Deerfield Language teacher 1951-1990 just passed away on November 17. Fell free to leave thoughts as comments.
