What a great person Mr. Schulman was. I remember him from my childhood days going to the Palace Theater and the Skyway Drive In. My father worked for him at his wholesale business in Bryan and he always talked about how good of a man he was to work for. What great memories I will always have of him. May God Bless Morris, Mark and the entire Schulman family.

My heart goes out to the family. I use to work at the Campus Theater back in 1974-1976 in the snack bar and though the most of Mr. Schulman. His nickname for me was "Big Bad Mean David"
Bill Schulman was a great man in my eyes and will be missed.
