The following ’52 notes were compiled by J. R. Allen: Last May, Bill Hinshaw and a small group of his friends and their accumulated families held a reunion on “their” beach at the mouth of Newport Bay, CA. They had changed mightily since the late forties through early fifties. Bill tried the surf and found [...]

The following are comments submitted by ’77 classmates following the 35th Reunion: David King: At the reunion it was terrific to hear about people’s lives, especially when one has a rear view mirror image of their 17 yr old selves. Peter Heymann: However, I must note that my son saw our reunion photo and exclaimed [...]

I am still glowing with pleasure having attended our 50th last year, and I am already anticipating 2016. I simply don’t understand why everyone but me has gotten fat and old. However, I feel certain that I can catch up in four years. It was particularly great to have Dericks, Dees, and Doley under one [...]

A great time in all respects. I only wish more of us could have made it back notwithstanding Dick Boyden’s superlative efforts in getting some 25 of us back. Memories of our part in the era of “the Quid” are fond ones and he certainly was THE Headmaster then. It was wonderful to see that [...]

Thanks to the alumni office staff and to the volunteers, especially Wayne and Jack, this past weekend did indeed ” tear the roof off the sucker” as promised. That was a special time that I will recall with great fondness for many years. I too had that feeling of melancholia that Jim and Bill described. [...]

My wife, Carole, passed away in 2008. Our life together had been a joyous adventure; traveling the world, skiing the west and several alpine slopes, summering a few weeks at my “camp” on Penobscot Bay, Maine and mostly in Darien, CT where we regularly played tennis and sailed our 34 ft sloop, cruising often to [...]

25 years later and it seems we have been gone only for a summer. Seeing my classmates from the Class of ’87 reminds me how fortunate I was to attend this school. More importantly, I am still surrounded by my Deerfield brothers who always offer me a firm hand shake while looking at my eyes, [...]

Well guys, now it is my turn to join the banter. I, too, echo most everyone else’s grateful sentiments to Tucker, Jack and Wayne. That weekend was spectacular! Although we had to leave the reunion early (our two older boys were participating in a documentary competition) , I had the unique pleasure of introducing my [...]

I certainly had a good time reconnecting. Do they have “Prepare for Retirement Schools” like Deerfield for folks like us so we can do it all over again? Look what Jack, Peter, and I caught today on day 3 of reunions. A 200 hundred pound tuna off Chatham that Peter Heymann was kind enough to [...]

During a recent meeting at the San Diego Diplomacy Council, I was introduced to a San Diegan who spent many years working and traveling overseas. Did you grow up in San Diego? I asked. No, he said. Where? On the East Coast. Where? Massachusetts. Which college? Harvard. Which high school? Deerfield. Michael Grisdale was in [...]
