Bulman Reunion held

The 63rd annual Bulman reunion was held July 16 in Eitzen, MN. There were about 40 attendees who visited over a potluck meal at the Eitzen Community Center. As in other years, we were blessed to have Jim Bulman of Waukon ride his bike to join us. Jim consistently makes the all-out effort to attend the gathering.

Rev. Paul Burgess of the Mt. Hope Church joined us as our honorary Bulman. Mt. Hope was founded by ancestors of the Bulman family in 1858, and although they weren’t all directly descended from the Bulman family, they all intermarried at some point.
