Thanks Johnny, For the correct spelling. My I haven't thought of Curtiss -Wright in years. 1940's was a long time ago for me. <grin>. I know my dad enjoyed working for them and was thankful for the job. He started out at Curtiss as an inspector and worked his way up to administration when they changed to Twin Coach and moved to the Genessee Street site. I would appreciate any site you could find. I have a few memoriabelia from my Dad, photos from the site would be an added bonus. I don't know if Curtiss had a band or not, but I know Twin Coach/Industries did. Too bad all my family are gone. My father's brother also worked there in the plant. My dad played trumpet in the band. Somewhere I have a photo of the band. Tattered as it is. Again, thanks Johnny.
