Dear Curt and family, I saw your dad's obit in today's Sun Times. I wanted to express my condolences. As you know, my own dad was the last parent in St. Rita's grade school 1971 graduating class to die. I know it is painful for a parent to die. But I'm sure that all of you have pleasant memories of your dad to hang onto. Curt, our class has graduated more than 40 years ago, so our 50th anniversary will be up soon. I know myself I always remember your imitations especially of Mr. Flanagan. And of how you helped me sweep the floor occasionally in 8th grade. I think of you as afriend. So I am sorry for your loss, but your dad is in a better place. Sincerely, Dan Dillon
