Curry House Crew
In the end, it's the people that can make or break a small business, doubly so
in the service industry of Key West. No matter how perfect a guesthouse may
seem to be, if the people aren't friendly and helpful, you will leave with
unfavorable memories. It is our sincerest goal to provide a sevice that meets
ALL of your expectations... Cleanliness of the house... Tastiness of the breakfasts...
Friendliness of the crew...
The Owners
|
Warren & Susan
In 1983 Warren and Susan purchased the second largest of the Congden Mansions
in Duluth Minnesota and turned it into Duluth's first bed & breakfast. They very
successfully ran the The Mansion, opening Duluth's largest, privately
owned, historical mansion to over 35,000 guests in the 20 years that they
owned it.
Selling The Mansion in 2003 made it possible for Warren to retire from
his distinguished, 40-year career as a family physician. He and Susan moved
to Key West and purchased the Curry House with the proceeds of the sale
of The Mansion.
Now, each Summer, Warren and Sue travel back to Northern Minnesota for several
months to enjoy the exceptionally beautiful North Woods.

Terry
Terry is an Aerospace Engineer by trade and worked in that industry for 15 years
before coming to Key West to try his hand at the family business - Innkeeping.
He and his family moved from Duluth, Minnesota to Key West in July, 2004 (an average
annual temperature increase of about 50°F). When an opportunity to live on a
tropical island knocks, it's usually a good idea to answer the door! Terry is responsible
for this web site. If you have comments or suggestions regarding it, please email
him at info@curryhousekeywest.com.

Brenda
Brenda is Terry's wife - which helps make the "Family owned and operated"
claim even more truthful. Her dynamic energy and brilliant smile will wake you
up on the mornings that she serves breakfast. Aside from keeping her family
(including 3 boys) operating properly, she works at one of the best seafood
restaurants on the island - Alonzo's Oyster Bar.

Pepe
We had the very good fortune to have a position open when Pepe dropped by looking
for employment. He is capable, knowledgeable, and uber-friendly. Pepe
came to the United States from Cuba during the Muriel Boat Lift - a 3-month
period in 1980 when Cuba was letting people leave, and the U.S. was letting
people arrive. 1 of 125,000 people that made it to the U.S. during this period,
Pepe has lived in various parts of the country, but decided that Key West was
his new home. He has lived and worked in Key West off-and-on since 1986.
