Profile: Skip Curtis

Personal background
I was born in Northern Ohio in 1943. I was raised in Temple Pennsylvania and joined the Navy in my senior year of high school, 1961. I graduated from Campbell College (Univerity), and was commissioned a Marine Corps Second Lieutenant. I married a wonderful and beautiful lady on that graduation day, June 3, 1966. One son, Terry, Jr. Member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since 1978. We've lived in Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, California, Hawaii, Rome (IT), Stuttgart (GE), and Okinawa (JP). We've traveled to many places around the world. I am a retired Marine Colonel Aviator, retired high school mathematics and science teacher, educational consultant, and private tutor.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I had wanted to slip the surly bonds of Earth since I was a young boy. I have flown an F-18 Hornet as high as I could make it go and watched the blue sky turn a darker, deeper blue. I have never felt as though we are alone in the Universe. I am glad to help in any effort to get closer to others.
