Deerfield involved in Strike!

Class Notes
Class of 1970
Posted on October 9, 2024

“We were taking care of two of our grandchildren while their parents were in Mexico for a week. They got the idea (probably from the five year old reading Tintin) to stage a strike. Grandparents were being unfair by not giving them oreos! They started off with cardboard signs, which we taped to them but kept falling off. Maria had the great idea to use our Deerfield 50th reunion hangers with typed strike messages and their demands for large amounts of money. The grandparents organized a counter protest but needless to say the strikers summarily rejected their demands.” – Dan Read
