My most treasured memory is knowing that my grandfather, William Fullerton, was one of the founders of the opera house. He and four others successful businessmen formed the corporation in 1877 to raise the money to build the opera house, which cost $23,000 when completed. (He put 10,000 in the pot to get it started). As a consequence, I am on the Central City Opera Board for “historical purposes.”
