William P. Bullinger, Sr., Fred's father, during WW I when he served in the US Army. This is a postcard he sent to Fred's mom; all he could tell her about his location was written on the back, "Somewhere in France." |
William Bullinger came home from WW I and he and his brother-in-law, John Castaing, started a business, Bullinger's Ice Delivery, which serviced the French Quarter and Downtown section of the city. |

Fred's uncle, A. C. "Mike" Curren, and his new car, 1920. |
Mike Curren, sitting in the chair, was the Illinois Central Railroad General Foreman. The railroad unloaded the less than boxcar freight (known as LCL); the clerks would then supervise loading the freight into trucks for delivery in the city. Warehouse 7 was located at Poydras and Loyola, across from New Orleans City Hall. The warehouse was demolished to make way for the Superdome. |
