Bill Curry & Your Submissions
Bill Curry
Bill retires this year after over 25 years of faithful
service to Grey.
This seems like an appropriate point in the magazine to
remember and pay tribute to
a Grey College institution, Bill
Curry, our night-porter from the
early 90’s until his retirement at
the end of March. Many generations of students will share
fond memories of meeting Bill
on their way back from nights
out, as well as his distinctive
call of “Keep the noise down!”
Comments received from
alumni indicate the volume of
people’s lives that he touched,
and how much his presence was
noted, and gratefully received
by students when needed.
College staff were delighted
to host an informal retirement
part in early April for Bill, when
a small presentation was made.
The College is particularly
pleased that the JCR awarded
him Honorary Life Membership
at the President’s Guest Night
held in February of this year.
