He attended schools in Braggs and spent many happy hours of adventures with his brothers, sisters and dear friends, Bob Rolland and Jim Jones. He and Jim were famous for their insatiable appetites. They would eat a meal at Curtis's house, and then go to Jim's and eat again and then on to his brother and sister-in-law, Elmer and Lela's house and eat again, as if they had never had a bite. Curtis and Bob had so many adventures such as aggravating his teacher and sister-in-law, Modena as Jr.High students.

After returning home in 1955, he attended Northeastern State College and met and married Frankie Alice Tidwell on April 20, 1956. From this union two sons were born, Curtis R. Hutchens, Jr. and Stephen Barney Hutchens. In the following years, Mr. Hutchens worked as route salesman and owned several local businesses. During this time, he was very involved in and dearly loved his sons' racing activities.
