Catherine and Bill Curran   2010

Bill married Catherine (many of you will remember her) in 1998 and proclaimed “it was the best thing he has ever done”! They still reside in Norcross, GA and are enjoying a great life together!   Bill has had some health issues since 2004, but doing well now (Dec. 2012).

Today, Bill and Catherine travel the world and enjoy as much time as possible at their Hilton Head home.  He and Barry Taylor take a couple of extended, exotic hiking trips in places most people dream of visiting.  In fact, they just returned from a fantastic hiking trip to Machu Picchu, Peru!

Bill Curran:  

My son, Bill Jr. is President of a software company.  He was on a sales call in Indianapolis and when his name was mentioned the CFO came running in and said "are you Bill Curran's son"?  It was Bob Kearns.  He relayed "old" copier stories to him about our glory and told him their Pres is John King.  It looks like my son is getting their business.  Copier Guys stick together.
