Anyways my family moved from the city to the farm, my dad and mom bought my grandparents farm SE of St. Lawrence SD and started riding the school bus in 1st grade, that first year we were the 3rd ones on. which means, we rode for an hour in the morning,, but be the last ones off in the afternoon, an hour and 15 minute ride. which got me out of chores.. and the odd thing. I loved riding the school.. as long as it got me out of my chores, lol by the time I was in 6th grade we were about the 6 or 8th ones on and still the last ones off the way our route was set up. Our bus driver was a sweet lady who sometimes in my regards was the nicest lady I knew. Normally I would bore anyone talking about school buses, but not Louise,, she answered all my questions and often got me sales brochures on new school buses from time to time. and often when we had to drive a different bus she let me sit behind her and explore the instrument panels and step well and other things as long my butt was still attached to the seat. I remember lots of times.. being a half hour ride from the stop to mine.. she and I would have some good talks about school buses. When I graduated I was sad to not be able to ride the bus anymore I rode all through school. except high school.. but often after school when I was back in Miller I would stop to say hi to Louise at the school when she was waiting for kids to get out of school.. She drove from 1968 to 1998 I believe and now she is retired now.. In 1996 living in Phily Pa I got a job driving school buses , which was my most favorite job.. of all ... I often remember my times on the bus. when I drove. I drove school for two years before moving back to SD. but in SD I could not get my school bus driving job as none were available where I lived at the time so I went into truck driving up to 2010 when DOT pulled my CDL due to health issues.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3005972366009104216.post-16497985393742812272013-02-05T22:23:59.552-06:002013-02-05T22:23:59.552-06:00That sounds pretty fantastic!

The leather seats, wi-fi and fairly spacious bathroom amazed me. It changed my opinion about public transportation.Sarahhttp://www.missouribusinc.com/financing/index.htmnoreply@blogger.com
