THE REST OF THE STORY

Subtitle: Some answers to the posts "LOOK WHAT WE FOUND!" and "WHAT'S IN A NAME?"

A member of the Bullis Committee did some more "digging" and found information that points to the identity of the baby girl whose birth announcement is shown in our August 26 post.

From the information we now have, it seems that Dorothy Josephine Knapp's family was living on Main Street in Macedon at the time of her birth, and her Grandmother Knapp lived close by on Bickford Street.

And ... here's the really big scoop: There is a family connection with the Nettie and Charlie Bullis.

That's all for now. We'll let you know more later ... honestly, we will!

REMEMBERING NETTIE BULLIS

Jeanette Aurelia Bullis was born 120 years ago today.  This is a special day for those of us who admire and respect her, a day to remember her generosity to her community that continues through her scholarships and grants.

This year we also remember that Nettie Bullis's generosity was a result of her New England frugality and her business acumen. Although she never heard the term that's currently being tossed around, Nettie Bullis began "leaning in" more than a century ago. And she continued in that manner throughout her life.

Nettie Bullis was truly a woman ahead of her time. The results of her actions speak louder than words. We can only again say, "Thank you, Nettie Bullis, for being you."
