The Loss of Dr. Donald Curtis

 I am Dave Curtis, Donald's only surviving son.  It is with great sadness that I must

announce that Donald passed away the evening of Tuesday, September 29, 2020.

He was at home, and was taking a nap in bed, when he passed, and it was very peaceful.

Our thanks to the thousands who have enjoyed and  contributed to this blog, he was so

proud to read how many people tuned in to read and see the photos! I will try

to maintain the blog the best I can for a while, perhaps until the end of the year at least.

Thanks again,

Dr. Dave Curtis
