Posted on November 12, 2015

2015 saw some milestones passed: 50 Years a member of the Massachusetts Bar, my 50th Reunion at Yale Law school and my 75Th birthday. I remain Of Counsel at Bowditch & Dewey in Worcester and am still involved with Mechanics Hall, a world-class concert hall and community gathering venue. see www.mechanicshall.org. My most extensive non-profit relationship is with the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. A serve on the National Area Council Committee representing Area Councils in Massachusetts and Northern New England, with frequent meetings locally, regionally, and nationally. I was honored to receive 2015 Heart of the Region Award at the Northeast Region Annual Conference in Princeton. NJ. The award is in recognition of my service as ” A Visionary Leader of the Boys and Girls Club of Worcester (and) A Builder of the Boys and Girls Club Movement.”
Margi and I continue to follow the diverse activities of our 3 daughters and 5 grandchildren. And we still travel, this year to French Polynesia for a week’s cruise aboard the Paul Gaugin in March and a combo trip in August to Easter
Island and then the Napo River in Ecuador’s Amazon Basin ,aboard the Riverboat Amazon Manatee Explorer. All were fascinating places worthy of a lengthy travelogue.
Life is indeed full and interesting!.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of the Alumni Association?

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:

Automatic subscription to Deerfield Magazine
Online subscription to the Deerfield Scroll
Access to the Deerfield Mobile App and directory
Invitations to special events both on and off campus
Eligibility for membership in a number of recognition societies

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

As a member of the Alumni Association, do I have dues?

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.

How can I network with other alumni in my area?

There are regional events in many major American cities. Please visit here for more information on regional engagement.

As a Deerfield alum, am I invited to campus athletic events and performances?

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?
