Arthur (Archie) BULKIN

• General Notes
  • aka Archie (1920 census)
    
    b. PA
    residing at 214 S. 59th St., Philadelphia, PA on 8 Jan 1920, 26 Oct 1922
    attended Drexel University
    removed to FL > 1951
    d. Delray Beach, Palm Beach Cty, FL
    
    cousin Archie Gold 5/06:  My vague memory tells me that as a young boy my parents told me that I, Archie, and my cousin, Arthur Bulkin, were named for the same person, an officer in the Czar’s army who I think probably died in the late 1800’s. To the best of my recollection the officer’s Jewish name was, ‘Archick’ or something equivalent and was related to my mother, Esther.  I doubt if the person was a general.  My faint memory is of a colonel.
    
    daughter Susan Bulkin 1/06:  My Dad was "Archie"...the 3 year old child written about in all of your writings. Jacob Bulkin was my Grandfather and was my Dad's Father, a most talented and successful Clothier and Women's Coat and Suit Manufacturer and Tailor in Philly.
    
    sister Wallis to CMB 4/06:
    When my sister Florence and brother Arthur graduated from high school,
    she wanted to go "away" to college to study social work.  It was a different time and my mother must have been afraid of hairy legs and never
    marrying so she wouldn't allow it.  Florence went to Temple University
    for a while but quit because she was bored or something. (The reason
    they graduated together even though he was two years older was because
    she was a very good student and was skipped 4 grades)  He wanted to be an engineer.  Jewish men could not find employment in engineering in those days and again my parents resisted.  Archie went to Drexel and became an engineer.  His trials on graduation about getting employment are another story.
