Curry grew up mostly in Parkersburg and Fairmont because his father worked for the power company and the family moved around. He graduated from Fairmont Senior High School and started college at Fairmont State, where he demonstrated a flair for a variety of interests. He majored in accounting and minored in history, political science and English.
“I loved it up there,” Curry said. “I love to take all the courses — physics and statistics and political science. I had some wonderful professors.”
