Clifford And Doris Bulmer

Celebrate 60th Anniversary

Clifford and Doris Bulmer of Great Quarter Road, Sandy Hook, celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on August 10.

Married in 1944 in the Olivet Congregational Church in Bridgeport, while Mr Bulmer was serving in the Army Air Force during World War II, the couple moved to Newtown 40 years ago. They are the parents of two daughters, Joan Bulmer and Judith Mathews, both of Florida.

Mr Bulmer retired from the engineering department of Sikorsky Aircraft, then spent 25 years as a deputy sheriff in Fairfield County. He also owned the Bull Tire Company in Danbury for ten years.

He is a former two-term chairman of the Republican Town Committee, and served as chairman of the Police Commission and as chairman of the Lake Zoar Authority. He is secretary of the Board of Trustees of the Pyramid Shriners in Milford and as president of its drum and bugle corps. He also is a member and avid golfer at the Heritage Village Country Club.

Doris Bulmer is a longtime volunteer co-director of the FAITH food pantry, and past grand worthy advisor for Connecticut of the Order of the Rainbow for Girls. She was co-advisor for the first Pilgrim Fellowship, an ecumenical group in Newtown, and was a Girl Scout leader in Bridgeport and Newtown.

Now a full-time volunteer, she previously worked for the Newtown Board of Education, for the late stockbroker Wolcott Toll, and for Dr Charles E. Ray.
