Political Quotes

“Many of us will always remember Joseph Curseen and Thomas Morris as Washingtonians because it is in this city that they were born and raised and received the values and the work ethic for which they are so fondly remembered. Joseph Curseen, Jr., was born in Washington, D.C. in 1954. He graduated from Our Lady of Perpetual Help Grammar School in Southeast Washington and then went on to graduate from Gonzaga High School and Marquette University. Beginning in 1985, Mr. Curseen was a letter-sorting machine operator in the U.S. Postal Service, working evenings at the Brentwood Road facility on machines that processed government mail. Not once in those 15 years did Joseph Curseen miss a day of work. Mr. Curseen was a man of faith who never left his home church here in the District. He led a bible study group at work and was a Eucharistic Minister at our Lady of Perpetual Help Roman Catholic Church until his death. Mr. Curseen was not only dedicated to his work, but also to his community, where he served as president of his local homeowners' association.”
