Sadly, from what I understand, Mr. Doug Fuller is under supervised care now and no longer lives in his house on 3rd Avenue. He is a great man and has been a great friend to the public library. He is greatly missed among genealogist/historians (and librarians) in Cullman. Fullers also remain active in the practice of law in Cullman. Fuller and Willingham is one of Cullman's larger firms and Steve Fuller, another nice person, is a partner. I think Steve is still serving as City Attorney for Cullman. Another Fuller (by marriage) - Elaine - is Curator of the Museum.

I guess another way to say it is: I never met a Cullman Fuller I didn't like.
