Wonderful memories of Mr. McCurdy as my biology teacher at Beaver many years ago. He was an excellent, enthusiatic teacher who instilled a love of science and of teaching that remains to this day. My deepest condolences to his family. Please know he was admired, respected and often remembered fondly all these years, and will be for many years to come.

May his memory be eternal! Mr. McCurdy was an exceedingly fine man who always found a way for my father to afford Beaver Country Day for the three of who attended. In addition, he assured that the teachers and the curriculum was the very best. As an educator, I think back and continue to marvel at what a blessing it was to be under his care. Thank you for everything Mr. McCurdy.
