Supporter of 'Everything Portage': Dr. J. Robert “Doc” Curtis (1915-2012)


Everyone's Doc: ‘Doc Curtis’ was a supporter of everything Portage. (Portage Daily Register, 8/13/2012)

His contribution to Portage and Columbia County:

Excerpt:  Curtis advocated for a new library years ago, and recently for the expansion of the existing one. He wouldn’t say it, Grothman said, but he also opened up his wallet to support it. 

Martin remembers Curtis and his wife as the driving force behind getting the Portage Public Library as people know it today. 

“If we didn’t have Doc Curtis and Kathryn, we wouldn’t have that library today,” she said.
