CHARLIE'S BOOKS

Recently we picked up a book in the collection, opened it, saw some notes about date and place of purchase, and immediately thought, "This must be one of Charlie's books."

Nettie Bullis's brother Charlie (Charles Rogers Bullis, 1891 - 1974) must have loved old books. People who remember him talk about seeing him at area barn and garage sales, looking through boxes of second-hand books and usually choosing several to take home to add to the many, many stacks and boxes already in the house on Canandaigua Road.

Charlie Bullis's love of books undoubtedly came from his father and grandfather, who added a significant number of engineering and medical books to their library. The horticulture volumes were probably Charlie's "doing" as growing flowers was one of his interests as well. And of course, all of the  Bullises made their contributions over the years, as well.

So we say a belated "thank you" to those who assembled this collection over the years, with special gratitude for Charlie Bullis who kept up the tradition and Nettie Bullis who insured that the collection would remain intact and maintained for us to enjoy.

Hope you're getting your Macedon photos ready for our November 10 photo scan. We're looking forward to seeing you in the Bullis Room that day, as well.
