Curtis. (B is for Berkley) I am about 80 to 90 % certain this is the same George B. Curtis that shows up in our family bible that has references to his name. Very delighted to read this. Tim G.

Could you let me know what your source is for the fact you mention that Curtis paper was used for the surrender ceremony with Japan? Deborah Haskell says the same thing in her article for Histories of Newark 1758-2008, without citing a source. On the other hand, Constance Cooper wrote in The Curtis Paper Company "Perhaps the proudest moment in Curtis's long history came towards the end of 1946 when it was selected to make the paper for peace treaties between the Allies and Italy, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, and Finland." She cites the Curtis company's internal newsletter and a Wilmington paper. The claims aren't mutually exclusive, of course, but I couldn't help wondering if Cooper's story is the correct one and the true story has been inflated in the retelling!
