Mrs. Shirley D. Curson-Weiss, friend and benefactor of LPL and the University of Arizona, died on April 21, 2014. Shirley (born Shandel Dauber) led a full, active life of travel and community involvement. She encouraged everyone, especially young people, to travel as part of the educational experience. To this end, she funded Shandel travel awards in several departments and colleges, including LPL, Journalism, and Fine Arts. Shirley generously supported other university groups as well and established the Shirley Curson Fund for Arizona Public Media. The 1774 Lepaute clock in the Kuiper Space Sciences building atrium is a gift of Mrs. Curson.
