I only new Curt a short time in my life,but he did have an affect on it. I always looked forward to seeing him because I new it would be an interesting day. His thing was that when you said hollo to him he would always say GOD GAVE US ANOTHER DAY, well God should have given him a lot more, but he did not, so we have to live with what Curt gave to all of us.
