  • Notes 
    • Bernard was the fourth of 10 children of Henry & Florence Meyer Binard. When he was a child, he apparently was nicknamed "Bunny" for some reason, and the family shortened it to "Bun". Forevermore, he was called "Bun" by the family and "Barney" by everyone else.

      He met & married Anna Schott, with whom he had a 60-yr love affair and two children. His easy-going demeanor was a good counterpoint to his wife's spicy personality.

      He carried the mail for 30 years, and was loved by all of his patrons because of his cheerful attitude and conscientiousness. He took up golf after his retirement and found many new friends on the courses.

      He was a product of the Depression, and was a very frugal person. He had coffee cans of used screws, nails (sometimes bent ones), nuts, bolts, washers, etc. He could always find something that would work.
