Pertinax Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 When my Grandmother was 9 years old, her Father was killed on a train in Tx returning from a sales trip. She told me that she went to live with her Aunt and uncle that summer. Alfred and Grace Brosseau. He was Pres of Mack truck, and she was head of Daughters oh the American Revolution. That summer, Grace was invited to visit the White House by Mrs Coolidge, who was a friend of Grace. My Grandmother had to spend the night there because of weather. And in the morning she took a dog walk with the President for an hour. Been reading here about my great great uncle. Funny that I am a Car and truck dealer all these years later. Totally unrelated.

kscarbel2 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 He was one of Mack Trucks' most important presidents, only exceeded in stature by the legendary Zenon C.R. Hansen. http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/42301-mack-remembrance-–-alfred-j-brosseau/#comment-308377 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45768-researching-my-great-great-uncle-alfred-brosseau/#findComment-337413 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pertinax Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 Ty. I happened to be in Up State NY this week for a golf tourn. And I happened on Oriskany battlefield.( something I like to do.) And found it interesting the the Daughters of the American Revolution put up the monument markers while Grace was President in 1929. A very interesting couple. She sounds like the Donald Trump of the 20s 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45768-researching-my-great-great-uncle-alfred-brosseau/#findComment-337571 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiley Tomm Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 It is reported (see obituary of R. E. Fulton, NYTimes 5/1/1938) that Robert Edison Fulton, Sr. was president of Mack Trucks somewhere during the 1920's. Can anyone confirm?

But, I have yet to find anything "official" that says there was a Fulton at the helm of Mack. I keep finding the same list that is shown above.
