THINKING ABOUT NETTIE BULLIS

A couple of weeks ago,  the Bullis Committee cancelled its monthly meeting because of a blizzard that roared through Wayne County. Since local authorities advised against traveling by car, we felt justified in taking this action.

However, we later wondered how Nettie Bullis would have handled that situation.  And our conclusion was that  - given her determination and sense of duty - she may well have said, "Well, there's more than one way to travel," then pulled on her snow boots, bundled up, and walked the 2 miles from her home on Canandaigua Road to the library.

As we remember Miss Bullis on her birthday, let's also recall some of the other qualities that made her such a special woman: her generosity, loyalty, respect of education, and business acumen.

Nettie Bullis made a lasting impression on those who knew her and she continues to influence the rest of us through the legacies she left the citizens of Wayne County. Once again we say, "Thank you, Miss Bullis."
