Charles Bullock was hired  as a porter at NPS in 1895. Later, he was put in charge of
handling and delivering
the mail, and he ran the Post Office. Everyone knew him simply as "Charles." He was well-liked by the girls,
and every year at the
Christmas dinner when the
staff was given Christmas bonus money, everyone always cheered when Charles went up to collect his envelope.
Charles Bullock has the distinction of being with the school longer than
anyone else. He was still
employed by the National
Park College when it was taken over by the Army in 1942. That's 47 years of service! While he was not formally employed the first year of school, he was around,
and his tenure lasted
until the school closed. For many years, he and his family lived in the upper floor of the brick house that had been the Gas House of the hotel and
which later stored fuel
oil.
