Kenneth F. Curtis.
Kenneth F. Curtis, mostly know as "Tooter Bill" entered the Air Force soon after
graduating from high school. He met his future wife Joan, in England. Kenneth and
Joan moved around quite often while he was in service, and he retired after 20 years
of service. After service, the Kenneth Curtis family, which now consisted of two
sons and a daughter, came back to Ohio County to live in retirement years. From
the three children, there are six grandchildren. A son and a daughter live in this
area. Their other son lives in New York. They moved to the southern part of Beaver
Dam in Stewart Acres. Kenneth was a fireman in the Air Force and it was relatively easy
to get a job with the Tennessee Valley Authority, Paradise Steam Plant, as a Fireman.
After several years of working with TVA, he retired once more. Kenneth's health is
beginning to fail him, but life goes on.
