Nex-Tech Wireless Supporting Cast: Vic Bulleigh and Bob Harmon

For the past 50 years, Bennington’s Vic Bulleigh and Bob Harmon have been next door neighbors, a strong indicator they get along, which is good, given that for 35 of those 50 years they’ve kept the varsity scorebook and clock as a team for Bulldog basketball games.

Harmon was a teacher at Bennington, where he molded young minds for over 40 years, while Bulleigh worked in fabrication for Premier Pneumatics, also for four decades.

Both are now retired, but not from their familiar Tuesday and Friday night seats in the winter, ones they’ve consistently been in since 1989.

“They are dedicated to their roles and ensure that all games run smoothly and efficiently,” BHS teacher Kim Lawson said. “They have developed a great rapport with the coaches, players, and fans and are always willing to go above and beyond to help out.”

Outside of basketball season, Harmon enjoys spending his retirement with his grandkids, crafting wooden toys for them, and assisting on a local farm.

Bulleigh is also a grandfather and craftsman, and enjoys spending time with his son and grandkids, building wooden furniture, and playing golf with his wife Janice - who worked at Bennington Elementary for nearly 30 years.

“Mr. Harmon and Mr. Bulleigh’s commitment and passion for their work have not gone unnoticed, and they are truly appreciated by everyone at BHS,” Lawson said. “They are a true embodiment of what it means to be a dedicated and loyal member of the BHS community.”
