Maybe it was turning 40, or having my third child, or breaking free of corporate life to start my own business. I wanted to get back in touch with my Deerfield roots – find out what folks are up to, and just possibly help others to reconnect as well.

And while we're all curious to see how old friends are doing, I suspect and hope that we'll also discover new friends along the way, as Chuck and I already have.

Let's hear from each other. Send us photos, notes and links about you and others. Tell us about your families and your lives.

This is our forum. Enjoy it!
