Glenn Bultman: attorney and community leader --- 1904 - 2005 Man dedicated life to family, making a difference M. Glenn Bultman, a longtime Bakersfield attorney and leader in various community organizations, died Monday at his home. He was 91. Bultman was known as a thoughtful family man, thorough and ethical professional, and dedicated community leader who had an unwavering ability to overcome obstacles and focus on the positive. Bultman was born Jan. 7, 1914 in Houston, Mo. His legacy in Bakersfield started when he moved to California as a teenager. He attended Kern County Union High School, now Bakersfield High School, and graduated from Bakersfield College in 1933. With just enough money for tuition and room and board, he went on to law school. "He was truly a self-made man," Bultman's son, Marv, said. Bultman's 55-year law career started when he was admitted to the bar in 1949. He graduated from UC Berkeley and earned his law degree fro UC Hasting College of Law. He returned to Bakersfield and joined the law firm of Claflin, Dorsey and Campbell. His law career was put on hold when he joined the Navy in 1941 and served in World War II.. He also served in the Office of Naval Intelligence in Washington, D.C., during the Korean conflict. Bultman married his wife, Marie in 1947 in what was a "storybook marriage," his children said. After serving in the Navy, Bultman resumed his work as a lawyer. Rosie Regier, 83, who worked as Bultman's legal secretary for about 20 years, said he was kind, compassionate and honest in his personal life and his job. He paid great attention to detail, she said, and was honest with his clients. "If it wasn't a good case, he would tell them, "There is no reason to pursue this,"" she said. But when it came to his family, he always had time, she said. He would make sure to set aside time for his son, daughter or wife when they would visit during lunch. Family was his first focus, his son Marv said. Kay Fike, Bultman's daughter, said her father was tremendously supportive of them. Fike said she always pictured her father tossing aside obstacles to obtain his goals. "You could always count on him to pull you through everything," she said. Bultman is perhaps most well-known for involvement in the community. And Bultman wouldn't stop at being a member, Fike said, he would be president. "He was a leader," Marv said. He started with serving as student body president of his high-school and Bakersfield College. He put the same passion into community roles. He was a founding member of Greater Bakersfield Memorial Hospital. He served as president of the Greater Bakersfield Chamber of Commerce, the Bakersfield Kiwanis Club and the Kern County Bar Association. During his stint with the Chamber of Commerce he helped plan the crosstown freeway and the Civic Auditorium. Bultman served on various community boards and committees, but spent much of his energy on education He served on the Kern Community College District board of trustees for 37 years and was inducted to the BC Hall of Fame in 1989. He also served as director of the BC Foundation. Walter Howald, Executive director of BC's Institutional Development and Foundation, said Bultman's dedicated involvement, sense of humor, energy and drive will be missed. "He was a strong advocate of quality education and contributed to Bakersfield College in all kinds of ways," Howald said. "He was a model of what is meant to give back to the community." According to a 1988 Californian article, Bultman said of his work with BC, "Everybody's got to pay their way in society. This is one way for me. I get a lot of personal satisfaction in what we do. I get a feeling of accomplishment." Bultman's wife, Marie, died in 2002. He is survived by his son, Marv Bultman, daughter Kay Fike and granddaughter Lisa Marie Fike. Services for Bultman will be held at 10 a.m. March 5 at the First United Methodist Church, 4600 Stockdale Highway.
