Education Blogger Harry Curriden has passed away. He will forever be known here, at C&E 1st for his brave advocacy for his daughter, the children of Christina, and the students of our State. No obituary could even come close to telling the story of his character and dedication to his family. Our heart goes out to his wife, Melanie. May she and her loved ones find the peace and the strength needed to continue on Harry's mission.
Harry "Hank" Curriden, age 67, of Newark, DE went to rest on Monday, June 16, 2014.
Hank was a loving and dedicated husband, father, and grandfather. He was an educational advocate for children. Hank was full of pride when he taught Social Sciences at Drexel University. He enjoyed learning about military and native history and loved spending time at the beach with his family.
Hank will be missed by his wife, Melanie; daughters, Katherine Roman (Aaron) and Victoria Curriden; grandson, Jacob; and nephew, John Davis. He was preceded in death by his father, Harry F. Curriden; brothers, Jack and Watson Davis; and sister, Mae Curriden.

It's become a tradition here to share an Owl City song whenever we observe the passing of an inspirational figure. Today, we'll offer two songs:
Fireflies was a favorite of another brave soul who challenged the status quo and left this world much too soon.
And When Can I See You Again, a newer song, dedicated to Harry's family...
