Bill Currier's daughter Megan is trying to acquire video and/or audio recordings of her father.

This from Chris Maloney: "I am trying to assist William (Bill) Currier's daughter Megan obtain video or audio recordings of her father. He was in the class of 1960 and passed away in 2005. Unfortunately she has many pictures of her father but doesn't have any videos or audio recordings of him other than one home movie. I realize this is probably a long shot, but do you happen to have any videos or audio recordings that you could share with her family?"

If you can help with this quest, please contact Chris at cmaloney3030@gmail.com.
