He was born August 12, 1931 on the Sunny Slope Ranch south of Broken Bow, the fourth child of James Wesley and Evelyn Emma (Clay) McCaslin. Curt started school at the Dry Valley School and graduated from Broken Bow High School in 1949. Following graduation he enlisted in the U.S. Air Force serving for four years and traveling the world. In 1963, Curt married Nancy McCay and adopted her son, Michael. Curt and Nancy also had a daughter, Julie Renee. In 1981, Curt married his current wife, Eula. He retired from UPRR after a career on the rails. He spent much of his leisure time prospecting for gold in South Dakota, Colorado and Wyoming, as well as camping and fishing. He loved visiting grandkids and his great granddaughter, Allison, who was the highlight of his life.
