Cool wheels!

Dan bought an ELF, an electric-assisted enclosed tricycle in 2013. They are made in Durham NC (about 5 block’s from Dan’s law office) by Organic Transit (http://organictransit.com/). Dan was one of the first three owners and is the unoffical “durability tester” for the ELF as he commutes to and from work over the rugged streets of the Bull City. The solar panel on top charges up the battery (the ELF weighs 130 pounds so the cyclist needs help getting up hills). The “gas mileage” is still in debate, but current estimates by OT are about 3000 mpg. Crusing range is 12 to 15 miles and it can go about 25-30 mph on level city streets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Upon graduating from Deerfield, alumni enter a diverse network of former Deerfield students. Deerfield alumni have ventured into almost every area of employment, and many are at the top of their respective fields. The advantages of this vast network are numerous and significant, as every member of the Deerfield family receives the following:

Alumni are also eligible for alumni awards, such as the Ashley Award, Heritage Award, and the Mimi Morsman Award.

There are no membership fees or dues for members of the Deerfield family, but Deerfield does ask for assistance in a few areas. First of all, in order for Deerfield to have the most up-to-date records possible, we encourage members to keep us apprised of their current contact info. Alumni are also urged to direct all concerns and suggestions regarding Deerfield’s operations through the Executive Committee, the governing body of the Alumni Association. The committee acts as the voice of the alumni body, and works closely with the school administration. In order to keep tuition affordable and the quality of a Deerfield education at its highest, the Academy depends upon the continuing support of alumni and their families. This support can take the form of annual or capital gifts, or time spent volunteering on behalf of Deerfield.

There are Deerfield Clubs in many major American cities. Please visit here for more information on specific clubs and their sponsored events. 

Of course! Be sure to read the latest issue of From Albany Road in your email’s in-box for current news of what is happening on campus. As we also send out periodic invitations, it’s always best to make sure we have your current physical address. And if you do plan on visiting campus, why not tell us ahead of time?
